MANCHESTER, NH – Companies were dispatched to the intersection of Hanover and Union streets Thursday for a report of traumatic injuries, due to a very large portion of a tree that had fallen from the First Congressional Church property.
After being dispatched at about 12:30 p.m. rescue crews encountered two people who had sustained injuries, a man and a woman. Firefighters worked to free the two people and began medical treatment of the man who was the most seriously injured.
