PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A massive fire tore through a gentlemen’s club in Lehigh County Monday.
Officials were called to Silhouettes Showbar on the 100 block of East Station Avenue in Coopersburg just after midnight. Some apartments are located above the club.
Cell phone video shows flames shooting out of the first-floor windows before fire crews arrived.
Fire crews from Lehigh, Northampton and Montgomery counties have all been on scene working to get the fire under control. No injuries have been reported.
The club has been closed for remodeling since late May, per its Facebook page.
Buildings including strip clubs have occupancy limits. How many clubs enforce the limits. I know that Follies got a couple of notices from the fire marshal for too many people and then had to start restricting the number of people in the club. Then comes the problem of who do you restrict dancers or customers?
