An investigation is underway following a fire at the Royal Jersey Golf Club.

Twelve firefighters tackled the blaze in Grouville the early hours of Saturday morning (20 May).

Initially eight crew attended what was reported to be an open land fire, but when they got to the scene they found a workshop alight.

Two water carriers and four more firefighters were drafted in.

The fire had broken out within Fort Henry, used by the golf club as offices and storage sheds.

Equipment and machinery was destroyed by the blaze.
