The Ocoee Whitewater Center in Polk County, Tennessee, which hosted the 1996 Atlanta Olympics whitewater events, is "a complete loss" after a fire early Tuesday morning, officials said.
A passerby reported the fire just after midnight Tuesday, Polk County Sheriff Steve Ross told CNN. Several fire agencies responded and were able to put the fire out, he said.
"The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is currently investigating the cause of the fire," according to a news release from the US Forest Service, which now operates the center.
