                                 By Jimena 

Fire destoyed one of the most important clothing factories, "Last Fashion", located in the South Western part of the city of Las Vegas, yesterday morning. 2 blocks were devastated.

The explosion was heard in the whole city. Flames were at least 30 feet high. Smoke covered the neighbourhood and ashes were found up to 10 miles away from the premises. More than 100 firemen fought against the fire for more than 3 hours. Temperature aroused 50°Fin less than 30 minutes.

Once the incident was controlled they were able to enter the building and they found the dead bodies of the 400 workers. Unfortunately, nobody survived. Paramedics, forensics and ambulances worked more than 12 hours in the sad process of identification, while 2000 speechless relatives were waiting for news. Around 50 physicologists were assisting them.

This reporter got some comments of people who were around when the fire started. John Smith, neighbor of Last Fashion said: "Noise, smoke and ashes brought to my mind 9/11". Carlotta Sanchez, owner of a cafe located across the street said: "I'm broken; all of a sudden my shop dissapear. I could barely run out of my shop before it collapsed". Emily Fields, John Edwards' wife, one of the casualties shouted: "This shouldn't have happened. Security in this factory was weak. I lost my 32-old husband and my 5 children lost their father. Who will take care of us?".

Experts from Las Vegas Fire Department (LVFD) jointly with Infrastructure local authorities commented that first tests concluded that fire was caused by sabotage ut declined to give details to protect further criminal investigations.
