I was listening to the scanner when the call went out, and it seemed that the info was confusing. Call came in from a cell caller who was going into the drive-in, and reported the structure had smoke coming out of the roof. First responders reported that it appeared to be fire in the attic. Later heard the dispatcher say he understood the structure was an approximately 80 ft long raised ranch. They give the command 20 minute calls, and it went to the 2 hr notification before the Weirs command asked to have the 20 minute notifications stopped. Didn't see anything in the papers (Concord, Laconia, Citizen, WMUR).

Things got pretty crazy, with I believe a second alarm called. It seemed that every town who was part of the scene or as a cover at a station had additional calls..who needed to call in other units....glad I didn't work for any of the depts, and certainly glad I wasn't part of Lakes Region Mutual aid. They had their hands full as well.

Did not hear anything regarding the cause.
