Officials on scene called it the worst fire they’ve seen in 10 years. At least 10 people are displaced after flames scorched a building in Lebanon County. Those families are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross. The fire sparked around 8:30 a.m. on August 21 at Corvette Grille in the 200 block of West Main Street in Annville Township. "A lot of pride, all up in smoke," said Carl Martz, who lives across the street from the restaurant. "It's a busy place, you know, they sell a lot of food. They just remodeled the whole place, did a lot of work in there.” Some neighbors even went as far as to call the restaurant a 'local legend'. After sparking in the restaurant, flames quickly spread; the smoke damaged two apartment buildings next-door.
