The Clark County Fire Department responded to a report of a fire at 7493 Singing Tree St., near Warm Springs Road and Gilespie Street. Upon arrival, personnel reported a garbage truck with its contents on fire. Burning embers from the fire kindled nearby brush and ignited the roof of a proximate two-story home.

A 60-year-old woman from Henderson died after a crash near Cameron Street and Harmon Avenue.

The Ford continued off the roadway through landscaping and the front of the Ford struck several landscaping rocks. The Ford rolled onto the left side trapping the driver inside the vehicle. Witnesses in the area assisted by pushing the Ford back onto all of the wheels. Medical personnel responded to the scene.
