We are saddened of the news about the loss of the Club House structure. As a former Volunteer Firefighter in Geneva-On-The-Lake,Ohio I realize the extreme risk there would be in having any personell working high pressure lines inside a "Fireplace". May I suggest Synthetic Log structure for the re-build.

The fire is still under investigation... The firefighters that responded to the original fire and the rekindle did a good job! Unless these people badmouthing the efforts of the fire departments on the scene know EXACTLY the situation there then they should keep their mouths shut! And Nice, you need to get your story straight before opening your mouth. Obviously, you weren't on the scene or you would know that there were no firefighters in the building when the floor collapsed!

Big thick logs, like this place was built out of, are a lot harder to extinguish than common lumber that normal homes are built out of. Once those big timbers get burning, they keep hot spots deep inside them. A rekindle on this type of structure is not at all uncommon.

....."then the floor caves in when there are firefighters in the building." Hey nice - where does it say anywhere in the article that there were firefighters in the building when the floor collapsed. I think it says that they were pulled out before the collapse. hmmmmm guessing that the department made the right call. Guessing that your dept never has rekindles, that is if your on a dept.
