The fire began just after midnight and was responded to by the Grand Bend and Dashwood fire departments, but they were unable to save the building, remaining on the scene until 7 a.m. Owner Dave Scatcherd said the rebuilding would start as soon as possible. "We'll start drawing up plans for the new place and get the insurance people in there...We want to have something up before May 24." Estimates of the damaged are around $800,000, according to Scatcherd, but $100,000 worth of memorabilia destroyed in the fire is irreplaceable. Items destroyed in the fire included signed photos of the Chicago Black IIawks and photos of Scatcherd with Lee Trevino and Arnold Palmer. "There is nothing left, not a thing...I don't even want to go in there." The pub was one of the Inn's first buildings when it was built in the 1920s and was renovated in 2002. There was no damage to the rest of the resort and it remains open for business. Don Shropshall from the Huron OPP said the Fire Marshall still has to fmalize the cause of the fire but it is believed to be accidental. Shropshall said the Fire Marshall con- cluded the fire took place in the bar area inside the building.
