BREAKING NEWS: Massive Fire Erupts at Coopersburg Gentlemen’s Club with Apartments Above – Second Blaze in Two Weeks.
According to initial reports, the blaze began shortly before 4 p.m. at the intersection of Main and State Streets. Thick black smoke could be seen billowing into the sky from miles away as firefighters rushed to contain the fast-moving flames.
69 News reporter Cierra Genelle is live at the scene, where emergency crews continue to battle the blaze. “Firefighters from across Lehigh County are working around the clock here,” Genelle reported. “They’ve been rotating teams due to the intense heat and smoke. The top floors—believed to house several apartment units—have sustained significant damage, though officials have not confirmed if any residents were inside at the time.”
As flames consumed the building’s upper stories, neighboring structures were evacuated as a precaution. The Lehigh County Emergency Services reported no confirmed injuries as of 6 p.m., but they emphasized that the situation remains fluid.
Authorities say this is the second fire in just two weeks at this establishment, raising questions about the building’s safety and whether the previous incident was fully resolved or related. Fire marshals are expected to launch a full investigation once the fire is under control.
Community members expressed shock and concern over the recurrence. “I can’t believe this is happening again,” said longtime resident Amanda Rios. “That building has been part of this town forever. We need answers.”
Nearby roads have been shut down, and residents are urged to avoid the area as emergency vehicles continue to arrive. Power outages have also been reported in parts of Coopersburg due to damaged utility lines.
