Two weeks ago today, September 16, the Cedars at Dungeness golf course started its day with a devastating fire. This building, located on a hillside at the east side of the property, went up in flames. The building is described as a workshop and storage building. Nobody was hurt but the loss was considerable.
The building was used for golf cart storage and an estimated 50 carts were lost in the blaze. This included rental carts, two beverage carts, and a number of personal carts. As you can see, it was a total loss. The course has been able to borrow carts from two other local golf courses and rent from a third. The equipment lost was insured but this is a tough time to lose so much equipment as September is a busy month.
Yes, that’ll put a dent in the year for them. It could have been worse.
Oh my… what a terrible loss. Glad to hear no one hurt and everything is replaceable.
That is terrible, glad no one got hurt, you can always replace the carts but that will take some time.
In addition to the loss and destruction, the mere idea of fire always frightens me–a hold over from seeing a neighbour’s house burning about 3 o’clock in the morning. A sight not to be forgotten.
