One person dead after house fire in New Hampshire, state fire marshal says
One person has died in a house fire in New Hampshire, the state fire marshal said late Monday night.
The fatal fire happened at 203 Pease Road in Meredith at approximately 4 p.m. Monday, State Fire Marshal Sean Toomey said in a statement.
Late Monday afternoon, the fire department received reports that there were two people trapped inside the home.
When firefighters arrived, they found “significant fire and smoke” coming from the second story of the single-family home, Toomey said.
Once inside, firefighters found a person dead in the home, he said. The person was not immediately identified pending an autopsy on Tuesday to determine cause and manner of death.
Two other residents were able to evacuate from the home safely.
Several other area fire departments assisted from communities including Laconia, Gilford, Moultonborough, Holderness, Bristol, Center Harbor, New Hampton and Ashland. Police from Meredith and Laconia also responded.
An investigation into the cause of the fire is active and ongoing by the State Fire Marshal’s Office and Meredith Police and Fire.
Anyone with information about the deadly fire is encouraged to contact the State Fire Marshal’s Office at 603-223-4289 or by email at fmo@dos.nh.gov.
Toomey reminds everyone of the importance of having working smoke alarms in their homes.
In the event of an alarm activation or visible smoke or fire, residents should immediately get out of their home and call 911.
“Keep exits clear and accessible at all times and have a home fire escape plan,” Toomey said.
Anyone with questions about home fire safety should contact their local fire department or the NH State Fire Marshal’s Office, he said.
Meredith is a small town in the Lakes Region, north of Weirs Beach. The town’s population was 6,662 at the 2020 census.

BOW, NH — Bow police and fire and rescue teams were sent to a crash on Sunday afternoon, not far from a previous crash earlier this month.
At 2:30 p.m., Concord Fire Alarm reported a crash involving multiple vehicles not far from the intersection of Page Road and Clinton Street. About 10 minutes later, a battalion commander told dispatch there were three vehicles involved and two patients were being evaluated. Dispatch asked if EMTs needed a retone for an engine, and the commander said, “Yeah, why don’t you send them.”
News 603 posted a video from the crash scene on Facebook, linked here.
Just before 3 p.m., EMTs cleared the scene after reporting the patients refused transport.
The crash site was not far from a crash on May 1 that sent one driver to Concord Hospital. In July 2024, a fatal motorcycle accident, which took the life of Joseph Kasper of Weare, occured not far from the location of Sunday’s crash.
Not long after, Concord Fire and Rescue teams were sent to a downed tree on Merrimack Street by School Street.
The tree was knocked down after a small storm moved through the region around 2:45 p.m.

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.
