As the fire continues to spread south, firefighters are working to protect waterways and homes west of Las Vegas.
“More than 65 crews continue to work to protect fire-damaged or fire-damaged values. Pipes are maintained throughout this corridor,” said Todd Able, head of operations.
About 1000 firefighters are engaged in the task of extinguishing the fire. People in nearby Las Vegas are waiting to see if they are next.
“We are ready to go if we are told,” Evan Gold said.
Evan Colt says his grandfather Louie lived in the same house since the ’70s and has been coming here all his life.

But now the exit line has been drawn at the end of his runway.

Some of their neighbors had already been told to evict once.
“We were told to leave two nights ago and my friend and two neighbors stayed here to protect the property,” said Steve Martinez.
Martinez said he has lived here all his life and never thought he would have to do something like this.
“not at all. not at all. I’ve lived in Las Vegas for 70 years and seen a lot of fires, but nothing like that, ”Martinez said.
Even if the exit line goes near their front door, the whole neighborhood is ready and they believe they don’t have to.
“Praying that God will help us and hope that what they say is going to happen will not happen,” Louie said.
Currently there is no evacuation order to the city of Las Vegas, but since most roads to the west or north are blocked, these neighbors are ready to go shortly.
