“The Hampton Inn in Bow was evacuated Tuesday night after elevated levels of carbon monoxide triggered alarms.
Bow Fire Chief Eliot Berman said the incident, which began shortly before 8:30 p.m., was traced to a problem with one of the hotel’s furnaces.
Guests spent a couple hours outside while fire department personnel went through the building. “We had to evaluate five or six individuals, but nobody was transported to the hospital,” the chief said. “Everybody was fine.”
Berman said the furnace involved was shut down, and firefighters ventilated the building.
Once carbon monoxide levels returned to acceptable levels, guests were allowed back inside shortly before 11 p.m., he said.”

“The utility realized it was sending out the wrong mixture of gas to air to appliances such as boilers, clothes dryers, and stoves, with too much natural gas being sent out into the supply line. That type of mix could lead to carbon monoxide leaking into homes and businesses…” Businesses affected included the Marriott Hotel on Railroad Street.

MANCHESTER, NH – Shortly after the Mall of New Hampshire opened at 11 a.m. on Oct. 19 employees and customers of Bertucci’s restaurant began noticing symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Alarms sounded inside the restaurant and Manchester Fire Department responded to find reportedly high readings of carbon monoxide in the building – 114 PPM – which resulted in a mall evacuation. All victims were treated in the parking lot while MFD vented the building and tried to detect/isolate the problem.
This is the second Sunday in a row that Bertucci’s has had the issue and had to evacuate.
After approximately 45 minutes the situation was brought under control. Officials said the issue seems to be in an HVAC unit. Manchester Health Department officials at the scene ordered the restaurant closed due to the issue.

He said firefighters detected high levels of carbon monoxide throughout the building, from its basement to the attic. The readings prompted the Fire Department to evacuate about a dozen people from the building, which also houses Banh Mi Saigon restaurant at the ground level and has apartments on the second and third floors.”
