Manchester, NH - On March 27th, the Manchester FD began receiving calls for a house fire on Spruce St. As companies left the station, a large column of smoke was seen from HQ. Upon arrival of the incident commander, heavy fire was showing and a second-alarm was requested. Shortly after a third-alarm was requested due to the fire spreading to another building, bringing in mutual aid to the city. Companies used master streams and multiple big handlines to get the fire under control. Soon after the main body of fire was knocked down, crews reentered the buildings to check for extension and hot spots. The fire is currently under investigation.
