Extreme Cold Freezing And Bursting Pipes Across New Hampshire
Fire crews are responding to several water issues including one in US Senator Shaheen's building at 2 Wall Street in Manchester
MANCHESTER, NH - Manchester Fire Department responded Saturday morning to a report of water and smoke coming from 2 Wall Street, a large commercial building.
Responders arrived to significant water flow from the front of the building and attempted to make entry. Initially, fire crews were hampered by a frozen device that holds the keys to the building.
Firefighters worked to shut off the water to the building once they confirmed there was not an actual fire, but it appears to be steam from a heater.

It is unknown at this time how many office areas were affected by the water flow that appears to have come from a broken pipe. Firefighters from across New England are responding to multiple calls for frozen, burst, and broken pipes due to extreme cold.
