In brief: Two injured in Barboursville fire

BARBOURSVILLE -- Two women suffered smoke inhalation Sunday during a fire in the clubhouse of Guyan Golf and Country Club, according to Barboursville Volunteer Fire Department Chief Phil Kincaid.

The victims, whose names were undisclosed, were transported to a Huntington hospital. Their conditions were unavailable, but Kincaid said the women mainly were transported for observation. He said both are laundry employees at the country club.

BVFD Lt. Andrew Frazier said the fire began in an industrial-size dryer and quickly was contained. The first floor of the clubhouse sustained minimal to moderate smoke damage, he said.

About 12 BVFD firefighters responded to the scene and set up ventilation fans to remove the smoke. The fire was reported at 11:39 a.m., according to Cabell County 911 records, and firefighters cleared the scene at 1:05 p.m.
The cause of the fire was unknown Sunday.
