Somewhere right along the bay. Route 11 is completely closed from Gilford to the bay.

![]() WMUR reports this much info on their website ALTON, N.H. —A portion of Route 11 was closed Wednesday morning while crews battled a house fire along the shore of Alton Bay. Authorities said the road was shut down from Gilford to Route 11 D in Alton. Crews were called to the scene twice overnight, and were still working to knock down the flames as of 5:45 a.m. Read more: http://www.wmur.com/news/nh-news/rou...#ixzz2lqSKpVnW

That would be next to the Mt Major Self Storage Facility at 305 opposite Keewayden Drive
and next to the Precious Gardens which is at 317. If that is correct - Ch 9 is reporting Rt 11 from the Gilford line to 11D is closed which is a totally different location.

I was listening to the scanner last night when the call came in.
Address was 3001 Mount Major Highway. Equipment responding staged at Minge cove rd. Rte 11 is closed between rte 11D and rte 11A. I believe that the structure is the house on the left when heading westbound that sells honey and maple sugar products, just after the left hand curve beyond Minge Cove Rd.

I don't think that there is a 3001 Mt Major Hwy in Alton. 1600 is around Anniversary Hill.
Maybe 1301 was the address? But generally odd numbers are on the right hand side coming from the center of a town/city so that wouldn't work. |

Going away from the Center of town, virtually all streets in Alton are numbered outbound, with the odd numbers on the left. Alton Bay PO is #5, and Woodland Tavern is 1602. On my road, odd on the left as well. In fact, when E911 came in, we had to change from 297 to a higher number and even, as we are on the right side outbound.

![]() At that point you tend to get some crap from the other 3 groups...soon enough somebody else screws up and you're off the hook. As long as nobody gets hurt on the rekindle it's something you can constructively criticize and later chuckle about. |

It is my property, and the small rental house was the one that burned.

Obviously, a very stubborn fire.
Glad no one was hurt, and of course property can be rebuilt. Thanks for clarifying.

Sorry for your loss, hope no one was hurt. Must have been real scary for all involved. BTW your maple syrup is first class, maybe folk should stop by and give it a try. |

Very sorry for the loss of both property and pets. Very disheartening at any time of the year but especially during the holidays. Glad there were no other injuries.
