Fire destroys shed at Christchurch golf club

A large shed at Christchurch’s Harewood Golf Club has been “totally destroyed” in a suspicious fire overnight.

Harewood Golf Club general manager Neville Bamford said workers found the shed smouldering when they arrived about 6.45am on Wednesday.

Two fire crews with a water tanker were called to the club on Mcleans Island Rd about 8.10am to make sure the fire was out.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokeswoman Lyn Crosson​ said the 250-square-metre shed was destroyed in the fire.

The blaze has been considered suspicious and a fire investigator will work to determine the cause.

Police were also at the scene, helping firefighters establish what happened, a spokeswoman said.
