Small Fire Interrupts NATPE Activities

LAS VEGAS,
January 17: Several floors at THEhotel in Las Vegas, where many distributors
are set up for NATPE, were evacuated for a short time yesterday afternoon as a
result of a small fire.

Smoke was seen
coming from a suite on the fifth floor at about 4 p.m., and the fire department
promptly evacuated floors one through five. A cigarette that was not properly
extinguished in a suite bathroom is being blamed for the fire. No one was
injured and distributors were back to business by 5 p.m.
