LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – One person was left with serious injuries after a home in the Southeast Valley caught fire Thursday morning.

Around 7:33 a.m., firefighters from the Clark County Fire Department responded to the 4700 block of Fuentes Way, near Desert Inn and Nellis.

The first engine arrived and saw flames coming through the building, but was unable to enter due to the instability of the structure. However, as conditions improved, crews moved in to extinguish the flames and conduct a search.
