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 club house now stands in ruins.
