LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – A monorail car caught fire Friday, causing a street off the Las Vegas Strip to close, Clark County Fire Department said.
CCFD said they were called around 2:44 p.m. Aug. 30 for a reported fire involving a monorail train car. Crews said they saw smoke coming from the train platform.
CCFD said they were able to extinguish a small fire that didn’t extend beyond the single train car. The cause of the fire was electrical equipment failure, CCFD said.
The impacted train car was “out of service and unoccupied” at the time of the fire, CCFD said. No one was injured.
Paradise at Sahara was temporarily closed for emergency response. CCFD said Las Vegas Fire & Rescue also responded.
FOX5 has reached out to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, which operates the monorail, and hasn’t heard back.
