HANOVER, NH — Hanover Fire Department units responded to a fire alarm activation on April 20th and arrived to find a kitchen fire with smoke conditions throughout the building. Recognizing the conditions, crews upgraded the response to a first alarm and stretched a hose line for an interior attack. Firefighters quickly located the seat of the fire and brought it under control, preventing further extension beyond the kitchen area. Damage was kept to a minimum as crews completed overhaul and ventilation, ensuring the building was safe before clearing the scene.
