MANCHESTER, NH – A day after a fire destroyed a makeshift tent at a homeless encampment near the Amoskeag Bridge, the fire department posted a notice ordering everyone to leave due to “fire and life safety concerns.”
No one was injured in Wednesday’s fire at the encampment located under the bridge near Canal Street, across from the New Hampshire National Guard Armory.
Those who make the encampment their home – currently about 20 people – have until 6 p.m. Friday, February 5, 2021, to leave. Although the posted notice said any unwanted personal property left behind would be disposed of, Fire Chief Dan Goonan said personal items that need to be temporarily stored will not be thrown away.
