LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A two-alarm fire broke out at the Fontainebleau Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip on Saturday afternoon.
According to Clark County Fire Department, firefighters responded to the hotel after receiving calls about the fire around 3:41 p.m.
Channel 13 also obtained multiple viewer videos showing heavy smoke pouring out from the roof of the hotel.
Initial fire crews arrived on the scene at 3:47 p.m. and the fire was extinguished at 4:19 a.m.
During a press conference, Deputy Fire Chief Billy Samuels confirmed that firefighters observed debris and construction materials on fire on the roof, though the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Additionally, he confirmed that the building's fire pumps were working as expected, despite the building's ongoing construction. The fire also did not spread beyond the rooftop.
The total response included a combined effort from Clark County Fire Department, Las Vegas Fire and Rescue, and Las Vegas Metro police. Overall, 12 fire engines, four ladders trucks, seven rescue units, four Battalion Chiefs, two heavy rescue units, and two air resources responded for a total of 89 people on the scene.
No dollar loss is known yet, and fire officials were unable to confirm if the fire would push back the Fontainebleau's opening later this year.
There were no reported injuries to firefighters or civilians.
Hotel officials also released a statement after the fire, confirming the "minor fire" was contained quickly.
“A minor fire that occurred at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on the rooftop has been quickly contained, and there are no injuries. The fire started at approximately 3:41 p.m. and the cause is under investigation. As safety and security are our highest priorities, we are working closely with the investigators, and additional questions regarding the fire should be directed to the Clark County Fire Department.”
