Boca Raton- At approximately 8:00am Boca Raton Firefighters responded to a call of a structure fire at 7601 E. Country Club Blvd.  A large column of black smoke was seen from as far south as Palmetto Park Road and I-95.  Crews arrived to find heavy smoke and flames at that location.  Firefighters used elevated master streams as well as numerous hand held lines to fight and extinguish the fire. A portion of East Country Club Blvd. and Hidden Valley were closed while fire crews fought the early morning blaze.  There were no injuries reported and the cause of the fire is under the investigation by the State Fire Marshal’s Office.  Fire officials estimate the damage to exceed $1,000,000.
