Northfield Restaurant Fire Goes To 2-Alarms: Watch

NORTHFIELD, NH — Firefighters from around central New Hampshire were sent to a restaurant fire in Northfield Sunday that eventually went to two alarms.

Around 12:45 a.m., a fire was reported at Ciao Pasta on Park Street. Firefighters from Northfield, Franklin and Tilton were initially called. Dispatch told the firefighters that police were on the scene and fire was showing in the kitchen area of the restaurant.

A few minutes later, Belmont firefighters were also called to the restaurant with New Hampton and Sanbornton firefighters requested for mutual aid.

Northfield command told dispatch there was "heavy fire inside extending to the roof" and requested a second alarm.

The second alarm brought firefighters from Concord, Laconia, Gilford, and Gilmanton firefighters to assist as well as cover Northfield and Tilton during the incident.

The restaurant, according to its Facebook site and reviews online, offered traditional Italian fare and "designer dishes" to customers. According to its website, it had been in business since 2008, first in Franklin and then in Northfield in 2012. It had just started providing indoor seating five weeks ago after the Safer At Home order was issued in New Hampshire.
