Clubhouse roof destroyed
The roof of the clubhouse has reportedly been completely destroyed as firefighters work to prevent the blaze spreading further. Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Fire crews are still battling to extinguish a fire affecting the first floor and roof of the clubhouse. “Three appliances from Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service are on scene, and we are also receiving assistance from crews in Leicestershire and Buckinghamshire. “There are no reported casualties.” Crews are expected to remain at the scene into Monday evening.
Residents told to shut windows and doors
A significant smoke plume is being produced by the fire and people living and working nearby have been advised to keep their windows and doors closed. Members of the public have also reported hearing loud bangs in the area during the incident. There is currently no confirmation as to what caused the fire.
Roads closed around golf club
Northamptonshire Police officers are supporting the fire service, with several roads around the scene closed. Police said Fairway and the Kingsley Road roundabout are closed in both directions. Kingsthorpe Avenue has also been closed at its junction with Trinity Avenue, preventing access to Kingsley Road from that direction. Motorists are being urged to avoid the area while the emergency operation continues. Firefighters anticipate remaining at the golf club into the evening and further updates are expected as efforts to extinguish the blaze continue.
