Edgewood Country Club suffered a major fire destroying the building valued at about 30 000 and furnishings at 20 000. Built 28 years ago for 125 000, the facility faced an emergency plan as directors meet at 1 30 this afternoon. Fire crews faced icy pavements and insufficient water from the club tank and a city hydrant aided by a pump. A pool had been drained for winter, hampering water supply. Among injuries, Mrs Kopfstedt and her husband were rescued, with both hospitalized after leaping from a window amid the blaze.
