Early Morning Fire Deemed Possibly Suspicious

MANCHESTER, NH — Shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday, Manchester firefighters responded to multiple calls for a building fire with explosions on Dearborn Street. On arrival, they found heavy fire in a garage which was spreading to the house and an adjacent house. Crews worked to hold the fire from expanding, while the garage was collapsing.

Fire crews extinguished fire in the house at 37 Dearborn St. The adjacent house suffered primarily exterior damage.

A short time after the fire was being extinguished, New Hampshire State Police put out a BOLO “be on the lookout” call for an adult male driving a 2004 Chevy 1500 pickup truck in connection to what was described as a suspicious fire in Manchester.

Fire investigators on scene confirmed the fire will be investigated as a suspicious fire and they will remain on scene for several hours.

No firefighters or civilians were injured.
