The Nisqually Tribe of Washington saw no major damage or injuries after a fire at its casino on Thursday night. The tribe evacuated the Red Wind Casino as fire crews put out a blaze at a propane tank behind the facility. A few pipes suffered damaged but there were no problems at the casino structure itself.
