Up to 80 Evacuated in New Hampshire Senior Building Fire
Nearly 80 people had to be evacuated and at least four taken to the hospital after a fire broke out at a senior living apartment building in Dover, New Hampshire.
One woman was treated for smoke inhalation and four people were taken to the hospital for possible treatment.
The fire started in an apartment at the six-story Cocheco Park apartment building at about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. Firefighters were able to contain the fire in the apartment.
Crews were called in from around the region to help evacuate the residents. Many had trouble walking and some were disabled.
WMUR-TV says residents were moved into city buses to stay out of the cold.
Firefighters say at least four apartments are uninhabitable and others may have water damage.
