| VIDEO: Fire damages 15 boats at Las Vegas Boat Harbor on Lake Mead PHOTOS: About 15 boats were damaged or destroyed after an early morning fire at Las Vegas Boat Harbor at Lake Mead. According to the National Park Service, the fire started around 12:30 a.m. and was contained by 3:30 a.m. As of Sunday evening, authorities were still investigating what caused the fire. Jeff Sammons, a Boulder City resident who operates a waste removal company at Lake Mead, was asleep on his boat when he was startled by an explosion sometime after midnight. "It was crazy," Sammons says. "A (National Park Service) ranger knocked on the door of my boat and said I have to evacuate. There were flames everywhere. Thank goodness there were no fatalities." Owners of affected boats have been notified of damages by Las Vegas Boat Harbor staff. KTNV-TV ABC 13 LAS VEGAS Georgia fire training lieutenant appears as contestant on Pat Sajak's final episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune' VIDEO: Pat Sajak, the host of one of the most popular television game shows, is retiring after 41 years, and this end of an era comes with a local connection. Nino Toro, an Augusta Fire Training lieutenant for the Augusta-Richmond County Fire Department, is a contestant on Sajak's final episode as the host. "Just being there for that momentous kind of occasion, knowing that millions of people are going to be watching it and talking about it, and it's kind of historical," says Toro. "You know, it was just great, like I really didn't have the words for it. When I found out that I was going to be there that day, like that's insane. I could never have imagined it. When I finally realized that it was going to be that episode, it was just unbelievable." Pat Sajak is the longest-running host on the same television show hosting more than 8,000 episodes during his tenure. WJBF-TV ABC 6 AUGUSTA Back-to-back shark bite incidents cause Florida county to close waters The waters off Walton County, Florida, closed after back-to-back shark bite incidents Friday. Both incidents occurred in Walton County — which is in the Florida Panhandle — and not near a boat, but officials are unclear how far the attacks happened from land, said Mackenzie McClintock, a spokesperson for the South Walton Fire District. The two incidents took place about 4 miles apart within about 90 minutes, South Walton Fire District Chief Ryan Crawford said. There were three victims in total. It's "extremely unusual" for two bite incidents to occur in one afternoon, Crawford said during an evening news briefing. A 45-year-old woman was injured in the first "reported shark incident." It took place in the water around 1:20 p.m. in Watersound, in the area of Founders Way in Watersound Beach, Crawford and the Walton County Sheriff's Office said. NBC NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
