The Yacht Club burnt down today, very completely. Our claim to fame is driving past it probably about 5 mins before the fire alarms went off (because I commented on the fire engines screaming into town as we drove out...).
We are yet to hear the cause of the fire. No sprinklers (old building) and unusual roof line (lots of nooks and crannies that were hard to get fire out of) didn't help. Second and third floors completely taken out. smoke damage to the rest of the building.
Luckily, the place was closed, so there were only staff who had to evacuate, so no casualties, apart from one fire fighter who got heat exhaustion.
