17 Injured at Monte Carlo
Casino Fire in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS - Guests and gamblers
fled a smoky rooftop fire at the Monte Carlo hotel-casino Friday as flaming
embers rained down on the Las Vegas Strip below. An ambulance company
spokeswoman said 17 people were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries,
mostly from inhaling smoke or from fleeing the building. Orange flames licked
at the hotel's sign and plumes of thick black smoke poured from the rooftop
of the resort. Tourists and residents watched the high-rise fire nervously,

Dozens Evacuated, 3 Die in
Houston Office Building Fire
A fire swept through a high rise
office building in Houston. The intense heat was believed to have warped the
