Fire destroys Moyer Winery and Restaurant, an Adams County staple since 1972

Owner Ken Smith didn’t think about the building or the wine inside when he saw a fire had ripped through his Adams County winery and restaurant. Thirty employees are without a job and the community is without its decades-old staple after a fire destroyed Moyer Winery and Restaurant early Thursday morning. Chief Rick Bowman said he thinks the fire started at about 3 a.m. in the kitchen. One firefighter became overwhelmed by the heat and was taken to a local hospital. The firefighter is expected to be OK.
