Updated mapping shows the #DavisFire at 4,703 acres. There are no changes in evacuations. If you have been evacuated, please do NOT attempt to return. This is for your safety. This is an ACTIVE FIRE and attempts to return will endanger yourself and the first responders on scene.
The fire held in most areas overnight but wind gusts are expected. This will likely cause the fire to kick up again as we saw yesterday. Firefighters need residential areas to be cleared in order to save your home.
Please respect the requests of our deputies and other law enforcement on the scene. They are there to keep you safe.
Stay tuned to perimetermap.com/ for evacuation and perimeter information.
ROAD CLOSURE INFO:
SR431 / Mt. Rose Hwy remains closed between US395Alt and the Mt. Rose Summit.

Las Vegas Fire & Rescue received reports of a fire at 6501 W. Charleston (The Tides apartment complex) at 5:04 a.m. Tuesday, June 6, 2023. The initial responders arrived on the scene within minutes, and due to the extent of the fire, a second alarm (an additional level of resources) was dispatched. The fire was contained and extinguished at approximately 6:42 a.m.
Portions of the building were already untenable for firefighters to search upon arrival, due to a lack of structural integrity. Crews have remained on the scene all day to complete the overhaul and investigate the cause. Heavy equipment has been requested to assist.
During this process, unfortunately, one person has been found deceased. One additional person has yet to be accounted for, and we will continue our search efforts. In the city of Las Vegas, anytime a deceased person is found during a fire, the investigation is conducted by three agencies: Las Vegas Fire & Rescue Arson Investigators, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Homicide Unit and Crime Scene Investigations, and the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
Six patients have been transported for injuries, all in stable condition. One firefighter was injured but was cleared and returned to duty.
With 18 people displaced, the American Red Cross is providing emotional support and access to a safe place to stay, food, clothing and medication. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
