Kitchen Fire at Meadowbrook Apartments Forces Evacuation

A kitchen fire heavily damaged one unit of an apartment house and forced the evacuation of 17 other units on June 23, 2015, according to Concord Fire Chief Dan Andrus.

The fire at the Meadowbrook Apartments at 94 Fisherville Road was reported at 3:53 p.m. and the first units were on the scene at 4 p.m. reporting smoke from the second floor of the three story building, he stated.

“The fire was quickly knocked down, but that apartment and one unit on the first floor were uninhabitable due to fire, smoke, and water damage,” Andrus said in a statement.

No one was injured and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. The Red Cross has been called to the scene to assist residents.

Units from Allenstown, Boscawen, Bow, and Pembroke covered Concord’s stations during the incident.
