SIGN UP Firefighters arrived at the scene minutes after 1 a.m. and reported heavy fire in the rear of the building, calling in additional resources from neighboring Salem, Derry, Londonderry and Pelham. Soon after, firefighters from Nashua, Hampstead and Hudson were called in as well, with firefighters from Atkinson and Methuen, Massachusetts providing station coverage.
The fire was mostly concentrated within the kitchen area, including the walk-in freezer. There was also heavy fire damage to the outside of the building.
Firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading to the main portion of the building, including its newly renovated entertainment area. But the majority of the building sustained smoke and light water damage.
No one was in the building at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported.
The New Hampshire State Fire Marshal's Office was contacted and will be conducting the investigation into the origin and cause of the fire.
