In addition to Prospect Hill Road being closed, fire officials urged the public to use caution on Springfield Road due to water supply operations pulling water near Otter Pond. Sunapee firefighers are expected to remain at the scene for most of the day to make sure the blaze is fully extinguished.
Photos shared by the fire department on Facebook showed numerous pieces of fire equipment surrounding the large apartment building. Heavy flames and smoke could be seen coming from the roof.
