Dec. 5—A fire on Monday morning, December 5, at Avery Ranch Golf Club has led to a building collapse at the North Austin semi-private golf course.
Austin Fire Department posted that the course’s cart barn was “heavily involved,” and that there was believed to be 80 golf carts inside the barn when the fire started. At 6:04 a.m., the Austin Fire Department tweeted that the fire had gone defensive.
Less than an hour later, they reported that three other units were called to the site, where it was still a one-alarm fire. At that time there was a building collapse, but the fire was under control after Austin Fire Department was joined by Cedar Park and Round Rock Fire Departments. A representative for AFD tells MySA that there are no further updates at this time.
While technically located inside Austin city limits, the master-planned community Avery Ranch is wedged between Cedar Park and Round Rock, and is served by Round Rock and Leander ISDs.
MySA has reached out to Avery Ranch Golf Club for more information and will update this story.
