Musquash Fire

The Musquash Fire Department responded to a report of a shed on fire on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 on Route 790 in Musquash. The call was dispatched at 4:38 pm. Firefighters responded with three pumpers, a heavy rescue unit and a utility unit.
On arrival, firefighters found a shed fully involved in flames, with fire spreading into the nearby woods. The fire was quickly extinguished, and firefighters were on scene for just over an hour digging out hot spots. A nearby house received some damage to the siding from the heat.

The cause of the fire was accidental, and there were no injuries.
