House fire in downtown Las Vegas


We're sitting back with popcorn, watching live coverage of a house fire aftermath in downtown Las Vegas at Galveston and Montebello.
The fire's now been extinguished and there are no reports of injuries, so we're watching rescue crews mopping up what apparently was a gas explosion.
Courtesy of Channel 8's Skywitness helicopter (the above photos were pulled from them), we can also hear the pilot's one-way conversation with headquarters while awaiting his time to go live.
Some highlights from the pilot monologue:
"Look at all that stuff."
"They got a dog, can't see what kind of dog that is."
"By the way, my lips are chapped."
"This is the helo, how may I help you?"

Update: looks like they cut the feed, oh well.
