GLOCESTER, R.I. (WPRI) — A campground’s recreation hall was destroyed in a fire that broke out late Sunday night.
Fire crews responded to Camp Ponagansett in Glocester around 11:30 p.m. after a woman who lived nearby reported hearing popping and cracking sounds and could see the fire.
According to fire officials, the building recreation hall was already fully engulfed in flames when they arrived on the scene.
The fire was under control in about an hour, but it took several more hours for crews to extinguish hot spots.
Around 25 firefighters responded to the scene. Water was pulled from a nearby pond.
There were no injuries and the cause of the fire remains unclear. Crews will return to the scene Monday morning to try to determine a cause.
Fire officials said the hall was used for storage and it had a small kitchen that was used for events.
