near sahara and lamb - with the latest. neighbors say squatters have been in and out of this home for years and they knew something bad could happen they say the house has been vacant for about three years now -- but squatters moved in shortly after the homeowners moved out. neighbors say they have filed code complaints and called metro police several times, but nothing ever seemed to get done. they say it was very frustrating because they knew that something bad like this fire could happen. "a lot of people are expecting the police department to do something, becuase i dont wan any more homes go up in flames, bad enough we had this one here so close!" metro told me a vacant house is still somebody's property... and it's very hard to deal with squatters if they can't track down that homeowner. without the homeowner to let them in, they're powerless

"somebody yelled something, my wife went out the door and they said fire." four units at the shadow woods condominiums are being called a total loss. fire crews say the cause is still under investigation. but the fire started in the apartment on the top floor next to randalls. "my mom noticed smoke and could smell it, came outside and saw smoke up from the roof, her and my dad got out." the family says they got out, but randalls wife, who has cancer, was sent to the hospital for smoke inhilation. "she's having chest pains and everything else, they took her to make sure because she just got done with a round of radiation, so they want to make sure nothing else is going wrong." one firefighter was also sent to the hospital after a roof tile fell on his head. "he's doing good, the tile came off, he was doing some work, caught him in the head, minor, small laceration, seems to be doing pretty good." fire officials say this was called a "high" level strucutre fire. and took nearly five hours to knock down. over a dozen engines responded with

"fires can move so quick in these apartment complexes, we want to get ahead of it, we frontload our calls and personel to make sure we're ready to go." crews say the damage incurred on the top floors is just fire. while the two bottom units have smoke and water damage. "just life i guess, it could have been worse, if we were in asleep, we would have never, it would have engulfed us before we got up." "now it's start over again, what can i do, i got her, i got my dog, got my kids, what else could i need." now according to randall... the arson investigator said the cause may have come from between the walls.... but again... clark county fire department have not given a reason and say it is still under investigation....
