StumbleOld warehouse burns in downtown Reno
Wednesday, July 21, 1999 | 10:14 a.m.
The barn-like structure near the Sands Regency housed slot machines, gambling tables and other objects from the hotel-casino.
One of the engines at the scene poured water on the human resources building of the Sands, but the buildings were not damaged. A nearby motel was briefly evacuated, but the occupants returned within a few hours.
Workers in a Geothermal Development Associates office housed in the warehouse escaped uninjured.
Fire bosses said the structure is so unstable it may have to be razed before there can be any search for a cause.
