Six people were killed and 13 others were injured on Saturday in an apartment fire in downtown Las Vegas, City's Fire Department said on Saturday.
The Las Vegas Fire and Rescue said firefighters arrived at the Alpine Motel Apartments and found people jumping out of windows. Black smoke poured out of the wood frame, 42-unit building near Las Vegas Boulevard North, CNN reported.
