Two juveniles have been arrested in connection with a massive six-alarm fire in Allentown that destroyed a commercial building and damaged nearby homes.

The suspects are facing charges including arson, recklessly endangering another person, conspiracy and causing a catastrophe, the Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office announced on Friday.

“Both juveniles will not be named nor will their ages be provided. Due to the age and circumstances of the offense, these charges must proceed through the juvenile system,” the DA’s office said in a statement.

Authorities have not revealed further details on the circumstances surrounding the fire.
