Four People Burned after Gas Poured on Fire Pit in Berlin, NH

Granite Law Group

This Saturday, June 14, 2025, at approximately 6:30 pm, a group of people were injured while enjoying a fire pit at a house on Noyes Street in Berlin, NH.

WMUR reports that four people were seriously burned when someone poured gasoline on the fire pit causing an explosion. Two of those people had to be taken by helicopter for extensive burn treatment at tertiary care facilities.

Typically, these injuries are covered by homeowner’s insurance which is required by the bank if there is a mortgage on the property. Homeowners insurance covers personal injuries caused to guests on one’s property due to the negligence of a homeowner. If not, renter’s insurance, or umbrella coverage would typically cover these types of injuries. These types of insurance policies typically have extensive coverage limits. Tragic and careless situations such as these, here a horrific fire pit explosion causing life long burn injuries, are precisely why someone would obtain coverage.

Our prayers go out to those injured.

Officials: 4 people seriously burned in Berlin, New Hampshire
