Hot Air Balloon Fire in Pittsfield | Concord News

A hot air balloon at a major New Hampshire rally caught fire early Saturday, but thanks to quick emergency response, only the pilot suffered minor injuries. The remote-controlled balloon, made by Thin Line Ballooning, malfunctioned before flames erupted — no spectators were harmed. The company apologized for the scare and praised local first responders. Despite the incident, the 44th annual event continued as planned, serving as the Rotary Club’s biggest fundraiser for community scholarships and projects.
