Massive fire damages popular banquet hall in Lower Saucon Township

VIDEO: A large fire broke out Saturday evening at The Moon of Saucon Valley, formerly known as The Meadows, a popular banquet and event facility in Lower Saucon Township, just outside Hellertown.

An investigation into the fire is underway, according to the Lower Saucon Fire Rescue. Several entities, including the Lower Saucon Township Police and the Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal are involved in the investigation.

At almost 11 p.m. on Nov. 29, the Lower Saucon Fire Rescue and Township Police were alerted to multiple reports of a commercial structure fire on Meadows Road; multiple calls described the banquet hall as being “fully engulfed” in flames, according to a press release from Lower Saucon Fire Rescue.

“Due to the limited water supply via fire hydrants in the area combined with access restrictions due to the ongoing replacement of the Meadows Road Bridge, multiple water tanker units were required,” the press release reads.
