FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fire damages structure at Edina Country Club
Edina, Minn., Sept. 11, 2014 – The Edina Fire Department was called to the Edina Country Club, 5100
Wooddale Ave., at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10, after receiving a call from a passerby who spotted flames
coming from a building.
“It’s important to call 9-1-1 as soon as you see any sign of a fire,” said Fire Marshal Jeff Siems. “These people
did the right thing by calling 9-1-1 right away. We were able to respond to the fire and get it under control
quickly.”
Fire crews arrived to discover a working structure fire with flames showing on the first floor and walkout
basement area along the north side of a building, 4601 W. 50th St., on Edina Country Club property. An
attached deck was also on fire. The fire reached a second alarm, causing minor damage to the structure and
attic space, but substantial damage to the deck. No injuries were reported.
The Edina Fire Department received mutual aid from Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Excelsior, Hopkins, Richfield
and St. Louis Park Fire departments. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
