Early Morning Fire Extinguished on Atlantic Avenue

NORTH HAMPTON, NH — Firefighters in North Hampton were busy this morning after being called to a structure fire on Atlantic Avenue at just before 4 a.m. on Sept. 15, 2016. According to a post on Facebook, Engine 1 and a Hampton engine were dispatched to a report of a garage fire, with a light smoke condition.

“A first alarm was transmitted and brought multiple mutual aid units from surrounding towns to the scene and station coverage,” according to the North Hampton Professional Fire Fighters - Local 3211 I.A.F.F. “A quick attack from members of A-Shift and mutual aid stopped the fire from extending into the main house.”

The firefighters overhauled the scene and the smoke and fire was contained to the garage.

The firefighters thanked all the other towns – including Exeter, Hampton, and Portsmouth – that came to the scene to help and covered the stationhouse, too.

“Another great example of the mutual aid system working to its finest,” the posted noted.
