MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Firefighters in Manchester, New Hampshire, say a fire caused about $80,000 worth of damage to a restaurant that’s a popular campaign trail stop in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state. WMUR-TV reports fire crews responded to the Puritan Backroom restaurant shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday and found smoke in a first-floor office area. They determined the fire was in an interior partition wall and had traveled to the roof. Firefighters brought the fire under control by about 7:45 a.m. It didn’t reach the rest of the restaurant, and no one was hurt. The restaurant will be closed until it can safely reopen.
