I just checked the WMUR web site again, and here is the story they have posted now. It is essentially the same story that I posted a short time ago, except now they say "52 Homes in the area on fire" This is just terrible. What a shame. I hope all are safe.

By 5:15 p.m., crews called for seven alarms. Within minutes, an eighth and ninth alarm were called. Raymond fire crews told News 9 that heavy flames emanated from as many as six or seven buildings.

The fire prompted officials to close westbound Route 11 from Gilford to Alton. Calls initially came in as a brush fire before it quickly escalated.

The town's deputy fire chief reports there are 52 homes in the area on fire and all of the homes could be a total loss.

It was not immediately reported whether anyone was inside.
