GRANGER, Indiana — Several fire departments worked together Monday morning to extinguish a clubhouse fire at Juday Creek Golf Course, which sits minutes from Notre Dame.
The clubhouse’s fire was first reported by a person walking in the area, Clay Township Fire Chief Jaren Killian said. When firefighters arrived, the fire was coming through the roof of the building, he said. An investigation by the Indiana State Fire Marshal is underway.
“Unfortunately, we don’t have any determination on what caused the fire at this point in time,” Killian said.
Ten fire departments joined to diffuse the fire and prevent spread, including firefighters from Clay, Edwardsburg, Cleveland, Baugo, Mishawaka and South Bend. Firefighters contained the fire in the building, but the newly renovated clubhouse now stands in ruins.
The course was built in 1989.
Golf course general manager Michelle Wittig arrived at the scene at 5:50 a.m., Monday. By 9:30 a.m., firefighters were working at extinguishing the last of the flames.
One firefighter did experience minor injuries, Killian said, and was treated on the scene. No one else was reported injured.
