CONCORD, NH — Concord firefighters were sent to a homeless camp fire off Loudon Road on Sunday night.
Just after 7:30 p.m., Capital Region Fire Dispatch began receiving reports about an outside fire behind the former TGI Fridays, which closed several months prior. An engine and a forestry unit headed to the scene.
When firefighters arrived, the battalion commander said an estimated 30 feet by 30 feet area was ablaze inside a homeless camp. The commander said there was no wind, so they believed they would be able to extinguish the fire quickly and did not need backup.
