A restroom

facility located near the 6th tee at Braelinn Golf Club was destroyed

Fire officials

are labeling the blaze as "suspicious" in origin, and the Peachtree

City Police Department is assisting the investigation being conducted

The small building

was engulfed in flames when the first fire truck got on the scene after

4 a.m., said Peachtree City Fire Chief Stony Lohr. It was located close

to a wooded area, but luckily the flames didn't cross into the woods,

the chief added.

"It had

already started to collapse when the first engine got there," Lohr

said. He added that embers from the fire didn't catch the wooded area

aflame likely because the area was wet from recent rains.

"We were

lucky it didn't spread into the woods," he said.

Some evidence

was found leading investigators to believe the fire was not accidental

in nature, Lohr said.

The loss was

estimated at $30,000, and the building was also used for storage, Lohr

indicated.
