Overnight Fire Destroys Saucon Valley Banquet Hall, Cause Under Investigation

Investigators are probing the cause after firefighters contended with water-supply limits caused by nearby bridge work.

Overview

  • The Moon of Saucon Valley, formerly The Meadows, and nearby structures on Meadows Road in Lower Saucon Township were destroyed late Saturday.
  • Crews escalated to a two-alarm response with mutual aid from Lehigh, Bucks, and Northampton counties and brought the blaze under control shortly after 2:30 a.m.
  • Limited hydrants and access restrictions tied to the Meadows Road Bridge project required water tanker shuttles throughout the operation.
  • No injuries have been reported by officials.
  • The Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal is leading the investigation with Lower Saucon Fire officials, and crews returned Sunday afternoon to extinguish hot spots after most units cleared by mid-morning.
