“Crews made an aggressive attack and found the fire had spread to the third floor,” Chief Sean Brown of the Concord Fire Department said. “The second alarm was sounded due to the volume of fire and presence of gusty winds which made controlling the fire difficult at times.”

The fire was contained around 9:15 p.m.

Firefighters from Hooksett, Hopkinton, Loudon, Pembroke, Boscawen, Henniker, and Chichester assisted at the scene. Firefighters from Franklin, Epsom, Dunbarton, and the Penacook Ambulance all provided mutual aid coverage.

Brown said a Manchester unit was canceled prior to arriving in the city. No injuries were reported, he added, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
