On July 21, 2009 shortly after 2:30pm, RCMP Wasagaming Detachment were dispatched to the newly opened Poplar Ridge Golf Course in Onanole, Manitoba.

RCMP, the Erickson and Onanole Fire Department and the Manitoba Office of the Fire Commissioner were on scene.

A steel storage structure reported to contain golf course maintenance equipment has been totally destroyed as well as a small shed near the structure. Another nearby structure, which was threatened, was saved.

The fire has been deemed accidental by the Manitoba Office of the Fire Commissioner, and as such, is not considered suspicious in nature. Damage estimates are not yet known.

The investigation continues.
