Firefighters examine the aftermath of a fire Thursday night at a disc golf business at 436 Foster Road in Auburn. Fire crews from Auburn and Poland responded. Courtesy of Auburn Fire Department AUBURN — Two people escaped without harm after a Foster Road disc golf business went up in flames Thursday night.
Crews from Lewiston and Auburn went to 436 Foster Road after it was reported that a building housing Dragan Field Disc Golf was on fire. The first crews on scene reported that the building was fully engulfed. Crews from Poland also responded to the scene to help battle the flames.
The business is owned by Scott Connell. The building is also home to two tenants, although it was not immediately clear if Connell was one of those who fled the burning building. No injuries were reported.
The fire was reported under control within minutes of the Auburn Fire Department’s arrival, although two hours after the call came in, fire crews remained at the scene. Auburn Deputy Fire Chief Matt Fifield said the building sustained damage from fire, water and smoke, although the full extent of damage had not been determined. The business typically stores discs, bags, baskets, apparel and other items related to disc golf in the building that burned, according to the Dragan company website.
Fire officials remained at the scene later Thursday night as an investigation into the cause of the blaze got underway. Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
