Ammunition Delays Response to New Hampshire Garage Fire
New Hampshire firefighters say they had to wait to extinguish a fire in a South Hampton garage until ammunition stored in the garage had exploded.
The three alarm fire on Sunday morning destroyed a recreational vehicle and the garage.
South Hampton Fire Chief Andy Head says there was also a shortage of water to fight the fire.
WMUR-TV says investigators believe the fire started in the camper.
It took crews about an hour to contain the blaze.
One firefighter suffered minor injuries.
