The boss, AKA "she who must be obeyed" is friends with the folks that own Belknap Point. Story is, one of the guests at BP was a fireman, he was out on the deck and spotted it as soon as it started. The hotel quickly contacted the Gilford FD and they were on scene very quickly.

From the pics, it looks like the home owner was actually very lucky he spotted it. If this was football... they held that fire to a field goal.

Cheers to all the firemen that protect us, on duty and off. It went to three alarms and fire companies responded from as far away as Holderness.

For all the complaining about proerty taxes I'm glad I don't have to worry about that clown that let that guys house burn down and kill his pets over a missed $75 fee. ( Yes I know, most of the firemen wanted to help, but were ordered to stand down.) This is just a statement not a rant.
