New Hampshire SUV bursts into flames in Common garage

By adamg on Sun, 04/25/2010 - 7:03pm

The Boston Fire Department reports an SUV somehow caught on fire in the Boston Common garage this afternoon, filling all three levels with thick smoke - even though a sprinkler head went off as designed.

The fire, in an unoccupied 2002 Ford Escape with New Hampshire plates, broke out around 2:30 p.m. on the garage's lowest level, and went to two alarms because of the number of firefighters needed to fight the fire, set up fans to dissipate the smoke and block off the garage to keep motorists from entering.

the SUV probably spontaneously combusted rather than go back to Keene..or Derry..or Rochester.

living in New Hampshire was like living in the witness protection program..only with worse food.

I'm jealous. I can't wait to move further away from people.
