Overland Park ? A propane torch is getting the blame for a fire that caused extensive damage to a suburban Kansas City country club.

The Kansas City Star reported that roofers had been working on Milburn Golf & Country Club before the blaze started Monday at the clubhouse.

The fire department says roofers thought they had put out a small fire, but an hour later an automatic alarm summoned firefighters to the clubhouse.

High winds drove the fire. It took five hours for firefighters from Overland Park and several neighboring agencies to bring the blaze under control.

The club’s vice president, Bob Fischgrund, has said the club would rebuild.
