Did You Know New Hampshire State Trooper License Plates Aren't Just Random Numbers?
Let’s face it. New Hampshire State Troopers have a tough job and Granite-staters appreciate all they do to keep our roads safe.
When you look at the calendar worthy state police cruisers, you might notice not all the license plates are the same numbers. In fact, these 2 and 3 digit numbers are quite a wide range. Is this random or does it have meaning?

This is a fun fact you can pull out at your next party, because there is a method to the plate numbers.
The plates are codes by series numbers. The New Hampshire State Police recently posted what each number is based on, and for hundreds and hundred of people, it was an eye opener.

The comments were as interesting as the information from the post. Here’s how the plate numbers are assigned.
Troop A (Epping) – 100 series
Troop B (Bedford) – 200 series
Troop C (Keene) – 300 series
Troop D (Concord) – 400 series
Troop E (Tamworth) – 500 series
Troop F (Twin Mountain) – 600 series
Troop G (Commercial Motor Vehicle – Statewide) – 700 series
If you are wondering about the 800 Series plates, those are reserved for new troopers in their first year. Once they get through the probationary period they move to a plate from their troop.
The 900 Series places are reserved for SIU Detectives (Special Investigations Unit), and sometimes you can see 2 digit plate numbers on the cruisers. Those are for the upper level troopers at Headquarters, like Colonel, Major, Captain, etc., according to the post comments, below.
You learn something new every day, so if you didn’t know this bit of info, well, now you do. Thank you NHSP for all you do.

5-year-old injured in New Year’s day Manchester, New Hampshire apartment building fire dies
The child who was injured during a New Year’s Day apartment building fire in Manchester, New Hampshire has died, the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal announced on Saturday.
The 5-year-old girl had been found unresponsive in a fourth-floor bedroom by firefighters. She was rushed to a Boston hospital in critical condition and passed on Wednesday. The Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has performed an autopsy to determine her cause of death.
The fire began just 30 minutes after midnight on Union Street. The flames raged on the third and fourth floors before spreading to the roof. One man was killed in the fire. He was identified as 70-year-old Thomas J. Casey, and his cause of death was determined to be smoke inhalation, according to the medical examiner.
One woman was rushed to a Boston hospital in critical condition. Five other people received serious injuries and were hospitalized. All the victims have since been discharged, according to the fire marshal.
Residents could be seen waiting in windows and on balconies for firefighters to rescue them.
“I kicked into high gear. I got my family rallied up. My son, my daughter, my wife. And I tried to find a way to get down safely off of one of the railings by trying to slide down one of the poles. But that didn’t work out,” said resident Jonathan Barrett.
Fire investigators believe the fire is not suspicious and started in a third-floor bedroom. The building did not have a sprinkler system but did have an operational fire alarm, the fire marshal said.
Around 10 families were displaced by the fire and are receiving help from the Red Cross. Around 50 people lived in the building.

New Hampshire services respond to 7-car crash
SPRINGFIELD, N.H. (ABC22/FOX44) – After an icy morning on Interstate 89 that saw multiple cars in a crash in Springfield, New Hampshire, responders say that they are thankful that only one person sustained injuries.
According to Springfield Fire Rescue, they originally were called at 7:40 a.m. on Friday for a reported two-car crash between Exits 12A and 13 – but arrived to find 7 vehicles involved, including 6 off the road.
According to authorities, all of the occupants of the cars were able to get themselves out and only one needed to be taken to the hospital. Their injuries were reported to be non-life-threatening.
“Springfield Fire Rescue would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to slow down and move over when emergency vehicles are in the roadway. The area where this incident occurred was very icy and we witnessed several other vehicles almost lose control when they entered the scene at too great a speed.”
Responders from New London, Enfield, and Springfield, as well as NH State Police, helped respond to the incident and clear the vehicles from the road, as well as to treat the ice to make the road safe.

Man killed in NH snowmobile crash
An Alton man is dead after a snowmobile crash in New Hampshire’s North Country Thursday afternoon.
The New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game says 63-year-old Bradford Jones was attempting to negotiate a left hand turn on Corridor Trail 5 in Colebrook when he lost control of his snowmobile, struck multiple trees off the side of the trail and was thrown from the vehicle shortly before 3:30 p.m.
Jones was riding with another snowmobiler, who was in the lead at the time of the crash, according to the agency. Once the other man realized Jones was no longer behind him, he turned around and traveled back where he found Jones significantly injured, lying off the trail beside his damaged snowmobile.
The man immediately rendered aid to Jones and called 911 for assistance, NH Fish and Game said. The Colebrook Fire Department used their rescue tracked all terrain vehicle and a specialized off road machine to transport first responders across about a mile of trail to the crash scene.
Once there, a conservation officer and 45th Parallel EMS staff attempted lifesaving measures for approximately an hour, but Jones ultimately died from his injuries at the scene of the crash, officials said.
The crash remains under investigation, but conservation officers are considering speed for the existing trail conditions to have been a primary factor in this deadly incident.
