Fire cuts power to parts of Harveys

A fire in the electrical room at Harveys has the Mountain Tower of the hotel-casino in the dark.

Tahoe Douglas firefighters were able to contain the Friday night fire to the area where it started.

“NV Energy is on site and people are in the dark,” Eric Guevin, fire marshal with Tahoe Douglas, told Lake Tahoe News about 11:25pm July 3.

The switch gear is out, he said.

The Stateline property has generators, according to a hotel employee. The front desk worker said there have been no evacuations.
