NEW HOPE, Pa. (AP) — Two businesses at a popular shopping destination in Bucks County were damaged after a fire broke out in the building that housed them.
Members of the Midway Fire Co. were dispatched to the scene at Peddler’s Village in New Hope after a fire was reported at the Nut Kettle building shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Although fire officials have not yet released the cause of the blaze, an employee of the Nut Kettle tells WCAU-TV that a popcorn machine inside the store caught fire.
Firefighters were forced to bust out windows to ventilate the building after containing the flames.
Everyone inside the specialty food shop and its neighbor, a St. Jude Religious Store, escaped the building without injury.
The historic Peddler’s Village features 65 retail shops and merchants.
