Friday September 23, 2005

Police are have made no arrests in a suspected arson early Saturday that badly damaged the Tilden Park Golf Course offices. 

“There are no suspects at this time,” said East Bay Regional Park Police Sgt. Dale Davidson. “We’re treating this as an arson and the investigation remains open.” 

Park District police and firefighters responded to a fire alarm at the clubhouse at about 2 a.m. Saturday, Davidson said. Firefighters had the blaze contained by 4:30 a.m. Davidson said the clubhouse office annex and roof sustained significant damage, but other sections of the building went unscathed. 

No firefighters were hurt putting out the flames. The golf course remained open Saturday.
