Fire crews spent this morning dousing hot spots and checking for smoldering embers at the Milburn Golf & Country Club in Overland Park.
The fire on Monday spewed flames for hours, and high winds whipped smoke that could be smelled miles away. It started about 4:30 p.m., possibly on the clubhouse’s second floor, but authorities didn’t know what sparked it.
The club was heavily damaged. It took five hours to get the fire under control.
No one was injured. The club had been closed Monday.
