Kurri Kurri Workers Club Destroyed By Fire

 BY IAN CROUCH

Investigations are getting under way into the cause of a fire which gutted the former Kurri Kurri Workers Club.

More than 50 firefighters were called to the Lang Street club after the fire broke out around 3.15pm on Monday.

Neighbouring properties were evacuated as crews battled the fierce blaze.

No-one was injured and crews finally left the scene at 9.20pm, more than six hours after the fire broke out.

It's second time in 17 months the club has gone up in flames.

The club has regularly been used by squatters since it closed in 2017.
