One firefighter suffered a minor injury while battling a fire on the third-floor and roof of the clubhouse at famed Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield on Tuesday, officials said.

It took firefighters about an hour to bring the blaze under control, Springfield Fire Capt. Michael Mastroeni said. The fire has been ruled accidental.

Smoke and fire was pouring from the rear roof of the clubhouse when firefighters were called to the golf course around 11:15 a.m.

A portion of the clubhouse was damaged and will be temporarily closed, according to Mastroeni. The rest of the building remains open.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A spokesman for the golf club couldn’t be reached.

A private 36-hole course, Baltusrol has hosted the U.S. Open seven times, most recently in 1993. It also has played host to the PGA Championship in 2005 and 2016 as well as the U.S. Women’s Open in 1961 and 1985.

The PGA Championship is scheduled to return in 2029 while the Women’s PGA Championship is slated to be played there in 2023.
