Two Firefighters Injured in Wayzata Country Club Fire

BY JOE KELLY

Two firefighters were injured while battling a 4-alarm fire at a country club in Wayzata on Tuesday morning, according to 5 Eye Witness News.

Firefighters arrived around 8 a.m. after a report of smoke inside the Woodhill Country Club, 5 Eye Witness News reported. At first, the fire was kept to a contained space between a lower-level ceiling and an upper-level floor, but firefighters had to remove parts of the ceiling and floor in order to reach it, according to KARE 11.

The fire grew into a 4-alarm fire by 10 a.m. because of this difficulty, Wayzata Fire Chief Kevin Klapprich told KARE 11. Firefighters were seen working on the roof of the building, inside, and outside on the ground.

The two injured firefighters were treated and released from a hospital with minor injuries, according to KARE 11. 5 Eye Witness News reported that the cause of the fire is currently being investigated by the Hennepin County Fire Investigation Team.
