Carlsona Beach A Total Loss After Sunday Night Fire

State Fire Marshals were poking around the scene at mid day on Monday as Carlsona Beach Supper Club lay in ruins.  Sandy Walters, a bartender who has been there for the last eight years, said the fire started between 12:30 and 1:30 Sunday night.

It was a three-alarm blaze, drawing the Isle, Garrison and Aitkin fire departments to the scene. Firefighters were still fighting the blaze after 4 am, Walters said.  The sign on the bar was about all that remained, stating that the business had been in place since 1944.

This is the scene from the Highway 18 inroad looking at the front of the former building.
