Shreveport tennis club damaged by weekend fire

Fire investigators think a refrigerator could be the cause of a weekend fire at a Shreveport tennis club.

Fire crews got the call just before midnight Saturday in the 500 block of Spring Lake Drive at the Pierremont Oaks Tennis Club.

Shreveport firefighters say flames were seen coming out of the roof in the kitchen area when they arrived.

Ten fire crews battled the fire and had it under control in about 40 minutes. There were no reports of any injuries.

According to fire investigators, the club's manger said he checked the building earlier that day and eveything appeared normal. He said the last social event at the club was on Christmas Eve.

The kitchen area and the roof sustained heavy fire damage while the other areas of the building sustained minor smoke and water damage.
