Firefighters extinguished a house fire in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Thursday night.

Manchester fire said they were called to a report of a building fire on Straw Road just before 8 p.m. Thursday. Upon arrival, they found a single-family home with extremely heavy fire coming from the entire left side of the building.

The fire had self-vented and was coming out the side and rear of the house about 35 feet above the roof, according to fire officials.

The house had an extremely steep and narrow driveway, which made it difficult for firefighters to access the building. One engine made it up the driveway and firefighters began attacking the blaze, first from the exterior and then by pushing into the building.

The roof was ultimately opened for ventilation, and firefighters were able to extinguish the fire. All companies cleared the scene around 11 p.m.

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Fire officials estimated the total damages at about $275,000.

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Department of Corrections is attempting to locate and arrest a possibly “armed and dangerous” fugitive with a lengthy criminal history.

Jaquelle Lamar Anderson is 39, Black, about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, and weighs around 190 pounds. He has brown eyes and is bald. According to investigators, Anderson has been known to use the aliases “Q,” “Quelle,” “Quelly,” and “Guttaboi Goldmouth McDurmutt.”

Rockingham County Superior Court issued the warrant for his arrest after Anderson was accused of absconding from probation supervision on March 19 after receiving suspended sentences on multiple theft convictions. After he was accused of selling drugs to fellow probationers, he failed to appear in court, an alert stated.

“Anderson has previous convictions that include multiple willful concealment charges and numerous theft by unauthorized taking charges that amounted to well over $100K in stolen merchandise, as well as drug convictions,” an alert stated.

Anderson was last known to be living in Portsmouth. Investigators said he has a silver BMW SUV with a New Hampshire registration beginning with the numbers 537.

“Probation has reason to believe that Anderson may be armed,” investigators said, which is why an “armed and dangerous” designation was placed on his fugitive status.

According to superior court records, Anderson’s criminal history dates back about 22 years.

In December 2002, in Salem, he was accused of felony willful concealment. A year later, he pleaded guilty to the charge. Six months later, he violated probation and had a hearing in January 2006.

In Nashua, in April 2007, he was accused of resisting arrest or detention and pleaded guilty to the charge in January 2008. In between, in June 2007, he was accused of felony receiving stolen property and pleaded guilty to the charge four months later. In August 2008, he was accused of violating probation. Anderson had a hearing in May 2009. He also had a hearing on a violation of a court order in September 2010.

In December 2020, the Commonwealth of Virginia requested documents from his criminal case on the stolen property charge.

Anderson was charged acts prohibited and willful concealment, both felonies, in December 2017, after an incident in Salem four months before. He pleaded guilty to the charges in May 2022 and received a 12-month suspended sentence with 12 days of jail time credit and a fine of $434. Anderson was accused of violating probation in November 2022 and received a one-and-a-half to three-year suspended sentence, with 123 days time served, in July 2023.

In between that case, in March 2022, he was charged with four felony theft counts out of Nashua. Anderson pleaded guilty to two of the charges in September 2022. He received two two-and-a-half to five-year sentences, both suspended for five years, and $7,419 in fines.

In February and March 2023, Anderson was charged with willful concealment and theft felonies in Manchester, willful concealment and organized retail crime enterprise felony charges in Merrimack, felony theft in Salem (and later, a probation violation), and felony possession of controlled drugs and resisting arrest or detention charges. He pleaded guilty to all but the Manchester concealment charge. Anderson received several suspended sentences and was fined $6,788.86 accumulatively.
