The Henderson Fire Department said this morning that a Monday afternoon blaze at a golf course home caused nearly $300,000 in damage.
Battalion Chief Mike Gibson said the fire at 248 Country Club Drive along the Black Mountain Golf Course started in the kitchen and appears to have been accidental in nature. A resident at the home escaped the fire unharmed.
Fire crews brought the blaze under control within about 15 minutes. One firefighter suffered a minor injury and was treated and released from the hospital.
Gibson said fire crews were able to salvage some of the homeowners' valuables, but the rest of the home and its contents were a complete loss. The home was valued at $165,000 with a loss of about $135,000 in contents, which included a recreational vehicle.
About 20 seconds after firefighters were dispatched to the home fire, officials responded to another fire at Outdoor Living in the Whitney Ranch area of Henderson. Crews contained the structural fire in the business’s workshop area and no injuries were reported.
The fire at Outdoor Living caused about $115,000 in damage, as well as another $15,000 to contents. Investigators were trying to determine the cause of the fire.
