Crews battle generator fire at Augusta National Golf Club

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.

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.
