UPDATE: 9:40 p.m. — From Palm Beach County Fire Rescue in a statement to BocaNewsNow.com: “At approximately 6:10pm, PBCFR Units were dispatched to the 22000 block of Boca Rio Road in western Boca Raton for a reported commercial structure fire. Initial arriving units found a large maintenance building that had heavy and advanced fire conditions. Multiple hoselines attacked this fire from several sides of the building. There were many golf carts that were inside the building that added to the rapid fire growth. The fire was under control at approximately 8:15pm. A PBCFR Fire Investigator has been on scene and has found the fire to be accidental in nature. There were no reported injuries on this incident. PBCFR Units will be on scene extinguishing any possible hot-spots for an extended time.”
It is unclear if this is related to the major fire at Boca Grove earlier this month where several golf carts also burned.
