LAS VEGAS (AP) — Fire on Friday burned the main building of the Mount Charleston Lodge, a landmark in a forest area that is a popular retreat from summer heat for Las Vegas residents. A fire official and a representative of the company that owns the business said the lodge’s restaurant was a total loss but that cabins used for lodging weren’t damaged. No injuries were reported and the fire’s cause wasn’t immediately known. The fire was reported at about 4:45 a.m. and Clark County Assistant Fire Chief Thomas Touchstone said the dining area was fully engulfed when the first units arrived at about 5 a.m. The company that owns the lodge says it will rebuild.
