The City of Las Vegas has released the disturbing 911 calls from the Alpine Motel Apartments fire that left six people dead last month.

The nearly two hours of audio share the first-hand accounts of the tragedy and the desperate calls for help.

“Get a pulse, get a pulse,” one man could be heard saying while on the phone asking for help.

“Oh God. Oh God,” a female resident said while on the line with 911.

Some were even talking about residents jumping out of windows to get away from the flames.

“Sir, don’t go in there, we’re coming as fast as we can,” one dispatcher told someone over the phone as fire crews were arriving on the scene.

The calls also include conversations between agencies as they rushed to save lives.

“We have reports of three children in room number 17 still inside,” one caller said.

Overtime in the calls, you could hear fire crews finding more victims in the blaze and pulling them out from the building.

“No more patients on Ogden and 9th so we're moving to Stewart and 9th," said fire personnel.

There were also details of survivors being taken to shelter.

“American Red Cross has been notified. I don’t have the exact amount of residents that need assistance, so possibly 30," said a dispatcher.

Earlier this month, the city of Las Vegas released documents that showed the Alpine Motel Apartments had 16 fire code violations after the inspection completed the day after the fire.

There are currently several survivors and family members of victims who have signed with law firms following the incident.
