I talked to the Alton Bay Postmaster at 8:30 this morning, she confirmed that the structure loss was confined to the ACCC buildings. The post office, mini golf, Shibley's, busy corner store, Chinese restaurant are all still there. It is a bit smoky inside the PO.

The combined fire departments did well to save what they could.

I was driving through the Meredith traffic circle last night and 7 fire trucks raced past, plus 5 or 6 pickups with lights.

Here's the WMUR coverage, 11 alarms.

The fire made the FOX NEWS CHANNEL. I had to do double take. What a shame.

Coverage of the fire actually was mentioned in local media here in Northern Connecticut.

My in-laws used to own a cabin in the Ashland/New Hampton area. Many a summer's weekend was spent driving from Portsmouth with a food and pit stop at Shibley's and then driving right past ABCC and on to the Lakes Region.

It was sad to see all of the damage but I am very happy that no one was killed and that only one firefighter had to be taken to the hospital.
