SOUTH HAMPTON, N.H. --

A six-alarm fire tore through an antique warehouse Tuesday night.

The fire broke out at about 6:45 p.m., and moved quickly through the wood-framed buildings, firefighters said. The property, located on Route 150, is owned by Nor'east Architectural Antiques.

Without any nearby hydrants, fire crews had to call in tankers. Crews said the fire spread quickly through the building's wooden frames and metal roof.

Nearly 100 firefighters, including crews from Massachusetts, were called to battle the blaze.

One firefighter was treated after overheating. No other injuries were reported.

The state fire marshal's office will continue their investigation Wednesday. The fire is not considered suspicious.
