Fire hits main building of Ozo golf club in Riga's Mīlgrāvis district

A fire broke out on Thursday in the main building of the Ozo golf club in Riga's Mīlgrāvis district, and emergency services were needed on site for a long time. The report comes from "Degpunktā". The flames destroyed various household items kept in the building's storage room.

How the fire was noticed

The club owner's wife was too distressed to speak on camera, saying the work invested in the place has now been ruined. She did say, however, that staff were the first to notice the blaze: smoke appeared opposite the office rooms. People quickly grabbed the most important belongings and left the building.

Possible cause

According to the owners, the fire started in one of the storage rooms. A short circuit in the electrical wiring is named as the possible cause, but it is still to be established why the fire became so intense.

The owners also point to one relatively positive aspect: the fire began in daylight, so the problem could be noticed comparatively early.

The source does not state the total extent of the damage or whether anyone was hurt.
