ST. CHARLES, Mo. — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) National Response Team (NRT) along with ATF special agents from the Kansas City Field Division were activated Sunday to join the investigation into the fire that destroyed the Bogey Hills Country Club, 1120 Country Club Road, St. Charles, MO. The three-alarm fire occurred in the late night hours of Thursday and burned into early Friday morning. The NRT arrived on the scene this morning.

“ATF is committed to working with the Missouri Fire Marshal’s Office, Central County Fire Rescue and St. Charles County Police Department, by adding our expertise and resources to this investigation,” said Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey L. Fulton, ATF Kansas City Field Division.

In 1978, ATF developed the NRT to bring its expertise to federal, state and local investigators in meeting the challenges faced at the scenes of significant explosions and arson incidents.
