MANCHESTER, N.H. - Fire officials in Manchester, N.H., say a fire that gutted a row of townhouses under construction is considered suspicious.

The fire was reported at about 9 p.m. Saturday at a site where four townhouse units were being built just south of Merchantsauto.com Stadium, home to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats minor league baseball team.

District Fire Chief Michael Gamache told the New Hampshire Union Leader that building was a total loss. He estimated damages at $250,000. No injuries were reported.
