Southern California golf course clubhouse catches fire amid wildfires: 'We will come back stronger'


A local golf course in Southern California has felt the wrath of the wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area.

A video posted on its Instagram page showed flames burning from the ground and the building charred.

“We will come back stronger,” the course said in the post.

The nine-hole course opened in 1910 and was damaged by the Eaton Fire.

The fires have affected the world of sports for the last 24 hours. Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick said his family needed to evacuate their home, and Wednesday's LA Kings game against the Calgary Flames, which was to be played at Crypto.com Arena, was postponed.

President Biden and California Gov. Gavin Newsom met with firefighting officials Wednesday for a briefing on wildfires across the state.

He Federal Emergency Management Agency will reimburse California for costs associated with hiring more firefighters and controlling the devastating wildfires that have devastated Southern California.

Newsom deployed the National Guard on Wednesday to help fight the fires while nearly 100 schools in the Los Angeles area were closed.
