    Photos by Chief John Greene

    "Firefighters in New Hampshire battled a five-alarm fire last night that started at the Surf Hotel in Hampton Beach.

    The blaze spread and tore through four more buildings before firefighters were able to bring it under control.

    The Hampton Beach area draws a crowd every summer and tourism is an integral part of the region’s economy. Keep reading to find out more about the extent of the damage.

    The fire started just after midnight and spread quickly with the help of whipping 60 mph winds. Many of the buildings that line Hampton Beach’s oceanfront strip were built with wood frames, very close to each other, which aided the spread of the inferno.

    A total of 125 firefighters from three states appeared on the scene to subdue the blaze. They initially attacked the fire from the inside, but eventually had to retreat outside because of the intensity of the flames, heavy winds, and the age of the building.

    Within an hour, the fire destroyed five buildings, including the hotel, an arcade, and other seasonal businesses.

    The cause is still unknown at this point, but firefighters were responding to other storm-related emergencies earlier in the evening.

    According to the fire department, the block has been wiped out by fire a couple times in the past hundred years."
