CONCORD, NH — Concord firefighters were kept busy Sunday with an early morning homeless camp fire.

Fire and rescue teams, as well as police, were sent to Route 106 around 12:15 a.m. for a report of a fire. The first report came into police dispatch, with the caller reporting “a lot yelling” and a few 911 calls from the area of Osborne’s Farm & Garden Center of Concord/Agway.

“It sounds like a homeless camp might have just blown up,” the dispatcher said to officers sent to the area.

Capital Region fire dispatch then took a report from a resident on North Pembroke Road after they heard explosions. They said the fire was behind ADF Flooring, about a block from the police call.

“(The camp is) most definitely on fire, and things are exploding now,” the dispatcher said.

Officers arrived at Osborne’s and began searching the area but did not find the camp or the fire.

“It’s all quiet back here,” one officer said.

The police dispatcher attempted to reach the caller, but they did not answer their cell phone.

A few minutes later, firefighters arrived, and a commander confirmed heavy fire coming from a large homeless camp behind ADF Flooring. Officers also drove to the area. The firefighters stretched hoses to the fire, and a second engine pump was requested.

Around 12:45 a.m., a fire commander asked if more firefighters were needed since there was some concern about the fire spreading. Video from the scene showed flames at least 15 feet high in spots in a densely wooded area. According to scanner chatter, a firefighter reported later that the bulk of the fire appeared to have been knocked down.

A police officer reported to dispatch that no one appeared to be injured.

Around 1 a.m., a commander requested station coverage by other firefighters, saying they would be at the scene “for a little bit.”

Around 1:30 a.m., the fire was completely extinguished and firefighters began clearing the scene.

A 19-year-old was seriously injured in a single-vehicle crash that closed the northbound side of the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Merrimack, New Hampshire, for a couple of hours Saturday evening.

NH State Police say troopers, along with the Merrimack Fire and Rescue Department and the state department of transportation, responded around 4:28 p.m. to reports that a vehicle had crashed into construction barrels at the Exit 10 offramp.

Responding crews found a Honda Accord off the roadway with heavy front-end damage, and a driver who had sustained serious injuries.

Police initially released limited information, saying only that a crash had closed the highway at Exit 10, and that drivers should anticipate delays and detours, avoiding the area if possible.

Police said later Saturday that a preliminary investigation showed the Honda, driven by Michael Ruiz, struck the barrels and traveled down an embankment to the edge of the woods.

Ruiz’s injuries are serious but non-life threatening, according to police. There were no other vehicles involved, and no one else was hurt.

All northbound lanes of the highway were closed at Exit 10 for about two hours while debris was cleaned up, and the Honda was removed from the scene.

Speed appears to be a factor in the crash, police said, and Ruiz was cited for reckless driving.

All aspects of the crash remain under investigation, police added, and anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Matthew Howe at 603-223-4381 or Matthew.S.Howe@DOS.NH.GOV.

A 12-year-old boy from Massachusetts was remembered as a “magical” middle school student after he died after an accident at a New Hampshire ski slope.

Jack Murrary, 12, was skiing at Cranmore Mountain in Conway, New Hampshire, New Year’s Eve when he struck a tree while navigating an intermediate trail. Authorities said in a release the young boy was wearing a protective helmet at the time of the accident.

The Conway Police Department said he was found unconscious and was rushed to MaineHealth Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

“Born on May 23, 2012, he is the adored son of Paul and Crystal and the loving and best ‘big bro bro’ to Finley Murray of Weymouth. Jack is the most magical little boy and was on his way to becoming a truly exceptional man,” his obituary says.

“His positivity and laughter are infectious. He is a loving and patient person who always sees the best in people. Jack is compassionate, empathetic and gives the best hugs. Jack is the greatest child a parent could ask for, and we are all better people for having known him.”

Jack, who played drums in the school band, had a GoFundMe established in his memory, and his family asked people to honor his life by donating to a music program in lieu of flowers.

“Helping other aspiring musicians like Jack get access to enrich their lives through the arts is a wonderful way to honor Jack’s memory,” his father, Paul Murray, wrote on the GoFundMe page.

In his obituary, the 12-year-old was remembered as a “bright light,” with his family listing an impressive list of interests the middle school student was passionate about.

“The brightest shining lights in life never shine long enough and Jack was that bright light for so many,” the obituary said. “Despite his short life he did more in twelve years than most do in a lifetime.”

Murray was remembered for being a budding entrepreneur, playing soccer and the trombone and drums and for his artistic ability.

“Jack loved his family, friends and neighbors (told them that regularly) and he knew how much he was loved back. Jack’s absence will leave a hole in the hearts of everyone who knew him and the entire Weymouth community,” his family said. 

“We ask that everyone take inspiration from the way Jack lived his short life and apply that to your own lives. We love you Jack always and forever!”
