As you may know, The Liberty Hill’s Country Club has recently burnt down. Firefighters had receved the call just before 6 p.m. and faced two major obstacles in putting out the fire. Strong winds spread the fire quickly, and the one fire hydrant nearby was not working, forcing tanker trucks to cartwater from elsewhere. Fire officials said the fire started in the basement.  No one had quite known the reasoning of the fire, or the cause until recently.  On Jan. 11, 2012 The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Kansas City Field Division and the Missouri Division of Fire Safety’s Office of the State Fire Marshal have completed the on-scene investigation into the cause of a fire at the Liberty Hills Country Club.  The fire occurred at 19808 County Road H on Jan. 6 at 5:43 p.m.

After three days of extensive scene examination and many interviews, investigators determined the fire came from inside  the basement of the clubhouse in an area south of the Bass Pro Shop. Due to the extreme damage, it was hard for investigators to figure out the exact reasoning for the fire.  The official cause of the fire, at this time, will be “undetermined.”  A finding of undetermined does not mean that a fire investigation is closed.  If information is developed in the future to indicate or warrant further investigation, this finding can be changed. The fire caused approximately $3.5 million in damage.

So even after a horrific fire, loss of many jobs, and the unforgettable memories made, The Liberty Hills Country Club plans to rebuild and start over. And many new memories can be made in the new building.
