A late-night fire Monday downtown Las Vegas destroyed a guest house and a motor home, and left one firefighter injured.
Firefighters responded to the incident at 11:21 p.m. at 1704 Poplar Ave., said Las Vegas Fire & Rescue spokesman Tim Szymanski.
Firefighters brought the fire under control approximately 30 minutes after arrival, Szymanski said. A motor home and guesthouse were destroyed, and the main home was damaged. Damages were estimated at $75,000.
One firefighter was injured when a nail went through his boot. He was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
The fire started in the guest home due to an unattended stove, according to fire investigators.
