MANCHESTER, NH – Manchester Fire was dispatched to 191 Morgan Street Saturday at 4 p.m. for a report of smoke coming from a building.
On arrival Engine 6 confirmed smoke showing, and began pulling hose lines. Firefighters entered the building and reported the fire appeared to be in the basement of the single-family house.
Crews located a woman inside the house, and removed her out the front door where medics from AMR began treatment. She was rushed to Catholic Medical Center with serious injuries, and the hospital was advised she was a status 1 patient, the most serious level.
Firefighters quickly located the fire and extinguished it and checked the structure to see if the fire extended in the walls. The fire was brought under control shortly after.
The Manchester Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the fire, and will determine the cause and origin of the fire. At this time the medical status of the woman is unknown.
