       Clark County firefighters are investigating the cause of a fire
       that tore through the basement of a building behind a home on
       Cheyenne Avenue this afternoon, officials said.
       Firefighters responded shortly after 2 p.m. to the fire at 3640
       E. Cheyenne Ave. in the northeast valley. No one was in the
       building and no injuries were reported, county spokesman Dan
       Kulin said.
       Crews from Las Vegas and North Las Vegas contained the blaze to
       the basement of the building, officials said. They had the fire
       knocked down by 2:30 p.m.
       The cause of the fire hasn't been determined. Officials haven't
       released a damage estimate.
       Metro Police shut down the westbound lanes of Cheyenne near Las
       Vegas Boulevard and are asking drivers to avoid the area.
