GROSSE POINTE WOODS, MI — Firefighters were still battling a fire at the historic Lochmoor Country Club in Grosse Pointe Woods early Thursday morning, according to fire officials.

"We understand the curiosity surrounding the active incident at Lochmoor Club; however, this is still an active fire scene," officials said in a statement. "Crews are still on scene working.

Videos posted to social media showed flames and smoke billowing from the building's roof.

Officials have not reported any injuries, but it appears the historic club is a total loss.
