Hampstead

Hampstead firefighters quickly put out most of the fire and stopped it from spreading to the main house.

Several people were injured and residents of apartments above Greg's Bistro were temporarily displaced, pending an inspection of the building.

John Matson went missing in July, but his daughter and volunteers are searching in hopes that since the forest growth has thinned out since summer, Matson's location may be revealed.

Pictures of the front of the house on School Street show the house collapsed onto the first floor.

Children and their grandmother were among those held hostage inside the house on Wellington Circle early Monday night.

Hampstead Police said residents can help by checking their yard and home security footage for any sign of John Matson, who has been missing since Wednesday.

John Matson left his Hampstead home around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday afternoon and never returned.

Air temperatures will near 70 degrees inland on Sunday, but water temperatures are still below 50. This can cause a person to quickly become incapacitated if they are not prepared.

Gusty winds and dead and dry vegetation created ideal conditions for the fast spread of fire.

Anyone going onto the ice is advised by NH Fish & Game to check the ice conditions prior to going on to the ice, as conditions are variable and can change rapidly.
