CONWAY -- A large fire broke out in the south wing of the sprawling Red Jacket Mountain View Resort in North Conway on Saturday afternoon.
According to reports posted on the North Conway Fire Department Facebook page, firefighters were pulling supply lines across multiple roads, requesting more manpower and pulling hose lines across Route 16 to get more water for their pumper trucks.
good going cads, you call us towns people that support your sorry crappy paper "Gawkers" a better word could have bee bystanders or even onlookers... No wonder your paper is loosing so much money.. Gawkers is very darocetory.
How sad and tragic. I was a subcontractor for the Red Jacket from March of 1980 until January of 2020. There isn't a sprinkler system in the South or North wings to service the rooms. But there is a sprinkler system in the commercial core which separates the two wings and houses the dining room on the top floor, the lobby offices and lounge on the second floor and a large function room on the ground floor. The commercial core was rebuilt in the 90s so it had to have a sprinkler system in order to be up to code.

Maybe you should master English before complaining? Gawkers is probably the best term and you were offended because you were one?
