Bad news for Great Buns

March 22nd, 2007 by Dave

This is pretty sad, from KLAS:

A popular bakery that supplied bread and pastries to many Las Vegas hotels is a complete loss following a late night fire.

The Great Buns Bakery on Tropicana near Pecos caught fire around 10 p.m. on Tuesday night. Nearly 50 firefighters responded to the fire call.

The building’s sprinkler system did go off, but the fire started in the ceiling and was out of the sprinkler’s reach. The flames spread fast causing a lot of damage.

I’ve been going to Great Buns pretty steadily since I moved nearby 2 years ago, so I’m pretty bummed out. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt.
