Investigators believe Manchester gas station fire was suspicious

Investigators believe a fire that destroyed two storage sheds at the Shell gas station on Hanover Street in Manchester was suspicious in nature.

Flames were seen shooting from the sheds on Monday around 11:30 p.m.

Firefighters said a chain link fence made it difficult to access the sheds. One shed was filled with cardboard, which was highly flammable.

Authorities said the flames caused some minor damage the roof of the gas station, and burned the electrical service.

Officials said the flames caused at least $25,000 in damage.

An employee who was there at the time said no one had been in the shed area for hours.
