MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Firefighters in New Hampshire say six families were forced from an apartment building by a two-alarm fire, and a resident and two firefighters suffered injuries.

WMUR-TV reports the fire was put out in about two hours Thursday night, but had spread fast. It caused about $150,000 worth of damage. Crews also rescued four dogs and a rabbit.

None of the injuries were considered life-threatening.



Firefighters believe the fire was accidental and was started after careless disposal of smoking materials.
