Just before 4:30 p.m., Capital Region and Lakes Region dispatch began receiving reports about a fire at a home on South Barnstead Road. Lakes Region Dispatch said a caller reported the building was fully involved. It was unknown if anyone was inside. Firefighters, tankers, and engines from Barnstead, Alton, Gilmanton, Loudon, Pittsfield, and Stratford were sent to the scene.
The first arriving fire commander stated the 40-foot-by-20-foot home had two corners fully involved.
About five minutes later, a second alarm was struck, and Allenstown, Belmont, Epsom, Farmington, and New Durham firefighters and the Chichester rescue team were also sent to the scene.
