Firefighters Injured During 3-Alarm House Fire In Loudon; Video Shows House Collapsing

LOUDON, NH — Firefighters from Concord and the capital region spent their Saturday night battling a house fire in Loudon.

Loudon firefighters were sent to 7471 Currier Road for a report of a woodshed on fire. The woodshed, Capital Region Fire Dispatch said, was attached to the home.

A second call around 7:45 p.m. brought Canterbury, Chichester, and Concord firefighters, while Pembroke EMTs were placed on standby. Dispatch said the closest fire hydrant was on Coaster Road, about a mile away.

A few minutes later, a fire commander said, “By the looks of the smoke, go ahead and start a second alarm, please.” The second alarm brought firefighters from Barnstead, Canterbury, Epsom, Pembroke, and Pittsfield.

Two minutes later, a third alarm was struck, and the fire commander requested Eversource come to the scene. Belmont, Boscawen, Northwood, Pittsfield, and Webster were then requested to send firefighters.

Around 8:30 p.m., a fire commander said they had two injured firefighters and requested another ambulance.

According to Redfin.com, the home was nearly 5,000 square feet on a 133-acre lot. It was sold in May 2023 for $385,000. Five months before that, it was sold for $435,000.
