Clubhouse of Edgewood Yacht Club damaged by fire

An early Wednesday morning fire destroyed most of the clubhouse and the contents of the historic Edgewood Yacht Club, home to the Sailing School since 1956.  The fire occurred during a "nor'easter" storm, making conditions extreme in high wind, low temperature, smoke and embers, sleet and driving snow.  Members of the Yacht Club, Sailing School students, and their families visited the site all during the day as the Cranston Fire Department and Warwick Fire Department crews  worked to protect the perimeter and settle the blaze.     (1/12/11)
