CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A fire broke out Thursday night near Carmel Country Club.
According to a tweet from the Charlotte Fire Department before 11 p.m., 30 firefighters responded to the scene in the 4700 block of Carmel Road, which is near Carmel Country Club.
According to the country club, the main cart barn caught fire, destroying a majority of the carts in there. The club said the organization was "in dismay" due to the blaze.
"We are thankful no staff member or Carmel member has been injured during this unfortunate circumstance," the club wrote to its membership.
The club said since most of the fleet was damaged, it is limiting golf parties to one cart per tee time through the weekend, which will allow two people to walk and two people to ride if they choose to play in a foursome.
"The driving range and short game areas will need to be accessed by walking only," the club told its members.
The club is starting to research how it can get more golf carts to replace those destroyed in the fire.
Video provided to WCNC Charlotte near the scene showed billowing smoke from a large facility at the country club.
