GORHAM, N.H. – Three cars were destroyed by fire early Sunday morning on the auto road at the summit of Mount Washington.

The auto road was busy with cars making a sunrise drive when flames broke out among several vehicles.

Strong winds on the Mount Washington summit caused the flames to quickly spread.

Gorham firefighters responded and knocked down the fire. The cause of the flames is undetermined because of the extent of damage, but it is not considered suspicious.

It took firefighters about 30 minutes to make their way up the auto road to the fire after leaving the station.
