Crews battle generator fire at Augusta National Golf Club
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - The Augusta Fire Department responded to Augusta National Golf Club for a fire Monday morning.
It was a generator fire, according to Richmond County dispatchers.
It was reported at 11:10 a.m. when smoke was spotted west of about 2600 Washington Road.
One viewer shared this video with News 12:
Crews “successfully contained” the blaze and put it out, according to fire officials. The system was shut down and secured for any potential hazards.
Aside from the generator itself, a key concern would presumably be ignition of the diesel fuel that could be on hand.
Hours after the incident, the Augusta Fire Department released this photo of the generator:
