Rochester, NH - Rochester Fire Department responded to a 911 call for a structure fire on Thursday, February 8th, when a neighbor reported flames coming out of a building near 773 Salmon Falls Road.
Crews arrived on scene to a fully involved 30'x40' garage and called a first-alarm for mutual aid to respond to the scene. Eversource was also called, as the electricity lines going to the garage had detached and fallen in the area. Traffic was rerouted and Salmon Falls Road was shut down as firefighters from surrounding communities of Dover, Durham, Somersworth and Berwick, Maine arrived on scene to assist.
The bulk of the fire was knocked down quickly, but extensive overhaul was needed as firefighters were unable to enter as the roof of the structure began to collapse soon after arrival. The cause of the fire is thought to be accidental, and there were no injuries.
