MONROE, N.H. — Firefighters pulled a man from his burning home

MONROE, N.H. — Firefighters pulled a man from his burning home on Ward Road on Thursday afternoon. The home at 60 Ward Road belongs to Norman Ward. Monroe Fire Chief Russell Brown said at the fire scene that he didn’t definitely know that it was Ward who was rescued. Firefighters first on scene found heavy fire in the enclosed garage area of the home, which is located at the end of a lengthy driveway leading to Ward Road. The chief said the fire victim was found inside the home near a back entrance. He was conscious and able to communicate with firefighters that he was the only person in the house. He was removed from the home and taken by ambulance to Cottage Hospital in Woodsville, N.H. From there, he was reportedly taken to Boston for further care related to his injuries. Chief Brown said it appears the fire started in the garage area, but he had called for a state fire investigator to come to the scene to confirm that and try to determine how the fire started.
