Fire Destroys Valley Forge Beef and Ale

Fire investigators remained at the scene Saturday night. Employees evacuating the building believed the fire began in the building's furnace.

A fire destroyed the Valley Forge Beef & Ale restaurant on Trooper Road in Audubon on Saturday.

The 18 customers and five employees in the restaurant at the time the fire started early Saturday afternoon reported hearing an explosion in the basement that "made the first floor rock," according to a statement sent to the media by Lower Providence Township on Saturday night.
