Ok, some on here may know more about this incident than I, but thought I’d share what’s been covered in the media. Sunday the Sandy Springs Gun Club public indoor range caught fire. According to news reports a customer accidently fired a tracer round which sparked the fire. It appears the damage was in the ventilation and roof area of the building. No customers or employees were injured and Police don’t plan to file any charges against the customer or the range.
So, obviously a good lesson on the importance of keeping track of “what & where” as it relates to ammunition. Also, this was covered a good bit in the local media and I wonder if in a small way it plays into the narrative of guns and everything/everyone associated with them being hazardous to the community.
I’ve always sort of worried about the issue of fire at indoor ranges, so how common are range fires. Anyone ever been at a range when it caught fire? Anyone know more details of this incident?
