Close Call at The Flying Monkey! Evacuated Mid-Concert

#NewHamp­shire­Fire #Fly­ing­Mon­key­Ply­mouth #Con­cert­Dra­ma #Com­mu­ni­ty­Sup­port

Con­cert­go­ers at the his­toric Fly­ing Mon­key in Ply­mouth, NH had a night to remem­ber, but not for the music! A fire erupt­ed next door Sat­ur­day night, forc­ing a mass evac­u­a­tion of the 450 peo­ple rock­ing out inside.

Thank­ful­ly, every­one got out safe­ly, but fire­fight­ers bat­tled the blaze for hours to keep it from engulf­ing the beloved venue. The Fly­ing Mon­key itself only suf­fered minor smoke dam­age, but they’ll be closed for a few days to clean things up.

Here’s the scoop:

• Fire start­ed at near­by busi­ness­es on Main Street.
• Fire­fight­ers from mul­ti­ple towns arrived to tack­le the flames.
• One fire­fight­er got a minor shoul­der injury but is okay.
• Cause of the fire is still under investigation.

The Fly­ing Mon­key staff are being hailed as heroes for their quick action in get­ting every­one out safe­ly. Big props to them! While the venue itself dodged a bul­let, some neigh­bor­ing busi­ness­es weren’t so lucky. The Fly­ing Mon­key says they’ll be there to sup­port their com­mu­ni­ty as they rebuild.
