The West Schuylkill Press and Pine Grove Herald of 9 June 1950 reported on a fire which took place at the Dell Lake Park Restaurant in Fountain, near Hegins, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.
FIRE DESTROYS PARK RESTAURANT
Fire, believed to be of incendiary origin, completely destroyed the large restaurant at Dell Lake Park near Hegins, on Tuesday evening.
The conflagration was discovered by Donald Scheipe, a young boy who lives on a nearby farm, and he turned in the fire alarm to the Hegins Fire Company. The Valley View Fire Company also was summoned, but the fire had gained too much headway to be extinguished before the pavilion was destroyed.
Paul Stutzman of Hegins, R.D., Fountain, is the operator of the park. An investigation is to be conducted in the hope of discovering the cause of the fire.
