SUV Fire, At Concord’s Capitol Center, Quickly Knocked Down: Watch

CONCORD, NH — Concord fire and rescue teams were sent to a vehicle fire on Sunday morning.

Capital region dispatch began receiving calls about a fire at the Capitol Center for the Arts at 1:30 a.m. The dispatcher warned firefighters there might be injuries connected to the call but they were not positively sure. Police dispatch also received reports there were people inside the SUV as it was on fire, according to scanner chatter.

When the first firefighters arrived, they found a Toyota RAV4 SUV fully engaged and called for more backup while police blocked both sides of the street. More firefighters were then requested. A few minutes later, the extra firefighters were canceled since the first ones were able to quickly knock the fire down.

Police said everyone connected to the vehicle was accounted for at just before 1:45 a.m. EMTs said there were no injuries and cleared the scene.

Firefighters asked the battalion chief to come to the scene “real quick,” and they cleared later.

At post time, it is unknown what caused the fire. Witnesses said they were outside of the Capitol Center when the SUV just started burning.
