The Monte Carlo Hotel caught fire today!
Most of the damage was to the top floor of the building. Falling debris ignited parts of an exterior ledge four floors below.
"High rise fires are never easy to fight. As you can see with it being outside, our firefighters actually had to hang out the windows to try and cut the fire off. We directed our fire streams at an angle so we could make contact with the fire. ... It wasn't an easy fire at all," Smith said.
He urged motorists and pedestrians to avoid the area.
Earlier, the smoke was visible from more than a mile away, CNN producer Darian Billington said.
