Fire Reported At The Burger King On The Heights In Concord: Watch

CONCORD, NH — Concord fire and rescue teams were called to Loudon Road on Friday morning to extinguish a building fire in a restaurant.

Just before 1:30 a.m., dispatch received reports of smoke coming from Burger King, which is located just south of the intersection with East Side Drive.

The first arriving firefighters reported smoke from outside of the building near the drive-thru. One firefighter suspected that it may have been caused by a cigarette smoldering outside of the building with fire spreading inside although that has not been confirmed as the cause of the fire.

Not long after, firefighters confirmed there was a partition fire in the walls of the building and began accessing the outside of the building by cutting the wall to gain access to the flames.

Concord police assisted in moving traffic around the restaurant location.

Firefighters extinguished the fire and handed off the scene to fire prevention. Engines cleared the area around 2:30 a.m.
