The maintenance building at Highland Meadows Golf Course in Windsor was destroyed as the result of a fire early Wednesday morning.
Windsor-Severance Fire Protection District was dispatched about 2:45 a.m., and it took about an hour to control the blaze.
Windsor-Severance fire marshal Mike Davis said the cause of the fire was the improper disposal of oil-soaked rags from staining. The rags were in the trash can in the building, which is located at 6701 Crooked Stick Drive and is owned by Windsor developer Jon Turner. The golf course is located on the west end of Windsor near Interstate 25.
Dan Miller, golf course superintendent, said the 7,000-square-foot building is eight years old and worth $750,000. He said the golf course mowers, tools, pump station and other maintenance equipment were worth another $500,000, making the total loss around $1.25 million.
