UPDATE: According to Newport Daily News, a 2010 Mercedes Benz SUV in the garage was on fire. A cause of the blaze is being investigated by the state fire marshal’s office and Portsmouth department. The garage is likely a total loss, with the rest of the house sustaining a significant amount of smoke damage, but everyone got out safely.
