Explosions Reported During Concord Homeless Camp Fire Near Route 106
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.

Join us for a community conversation exploring how land conservation supports thriving communities, healthy ecosystems, and local economies. Recent research from Maine highlights the growing economic value of conserved lands — from supporting recreation, forestry, agriculture, and tourism to protecting clean water, storing carbon, and strengthening climate resilience. The findings reveal something important: protecting natural landscapes is not only good for the environment, but also for the people and communities that depend on them.
Together, we’ll explore what this research means both regionally and here at home. How do conserved lands shape our quality of life, local economy, and sense of place? How can communities balance growth, conservation, and long-term sustainability? And what role can each of us play in protecting the landscapes that support both nature and people?
At each “Let’s Talk Nature” gathering, we share a short article in advance and come together for an informal, welcoming discussion. Each session stands on its own, and everyone is welcome. No expertise needed. Bring your curiosity and a willingness to listen and share. Drinks and cookies provided.
