Clubhouse 4 Operating as Usual

Posted on by Jenning Lai

On Monday, December 15, at approximately 10 p.m., a small fire occurred in the metal shop area within the woodshop at Clubhouse 4. The fire sprinkler system activated as designed, and Orange County Fire Authority responded and confirmed the fire was contained.

No injuries were reported.

As a result of sprinkler activation, water impacted the woodshop and jewelry room. Restoration and safety assessments are underway, and those two rooms are temporarily closed. All other Clubhouse 4 amenities remain open and are operating as usual.

VMS has engaged the appropriate fire, electrical, restoration, insurance and safety professionals. Additional updates will be shared once reopening timelines for the affected rooms are available.
