CONCORD, NH — Concord fire and rescue teams were sent to North State Street for a porch fire on Wednesday. Before arriving, dispatch informed them that it might not be a porch burning but, instead, something burning on the porch of the home which was just off the intersection with Granite Avenue. Everyone in the home had been evacuated, too, she said at just after 8:15 p.m. Later dispatch confirmed it was an item on fire on the porch that had been extinguished. The arriving battalion chief said, upon arrival, "nothing obvious but we'll be checking." Concord police and firefighters also re-routed traffic onto Rumford Street. Firefighters confirmed the fire hazard had been extinguished and they began removing smoke from the building. EMTs also checked out one resident for smoke inhalation. Firefighters cleaned up, opened the street back up, and left the area around 8:45 p.m. NEWS 603 posted a video on YouTube.com, linked here. Got a news tip? Send it to [email protected].
