\nGames were put on hold Sunday after a small fire at The Bluegrass Sportsplex in Elizabethtown forced a stoppage in play.<\/p>\n
A call came into Elizabethtown police around 2:35 p.m. Sunday, according to police spokesman Chris Denham.<\/p>\n
Denham said the damage is in a bathroom and the business did have to close as a result. A juvenile suspect is in custody and is facing charges of arson in the first degree.<\/p>\n
The fire was set and contained, with minor damage, in the shower area of the women\u2019s restroom, according to Sportsplex general manager Dustin Shepherd.<\/p>\n
During the fire, the building was evacuated safely and no one was injured.<\/p>\n
The fire disrupted youth indoor soccer games, an adult recreational volleyball league tournament and birthday parties and other private rentals.<\/p>\n
According to a social media post from the Sportsplex, soccer and volleyball games being played Sunday will be rescheduled.<\/p>\n
Shepherd said it was shut down because it was unsafe for the occupants to be located in the building without a proper fire protection system that was active at that time. The Sportsplex hopes to return to play on Monday.
