Three-Alarm Fire Severely Damages Golf Course Clubhouse in Reading (MA)

According to a report from WCVB, firefighters worked hard to extinguish a three-alarm fire at a Meadow Brook Golf Club clubhouse on Grove Street, which was under construction in Reading, Massachusetts, early Tuesday.

The building was under construction because it was destroyed almost exactly one year ago in April 2020.

The project was six to eight weeks from completion, had sprinklers and fire alarms, but they were not yet operational, according to officials.



No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Meadow Brook’s board of governors said they’re devastated, and they vow to rebuild the clubhouse once again.
