ALTON BAY, N.H. -- Heavy fire ignited on Easter Sunday at the Alton Bay Christian Conference Center amid windy conditions, prompting multiple alarms and a road closure.

By 5:15 p.m., crews called for seven alarms. Within minutes, an eighth and ninth alarm were called. Alton Bay's deputy fire chief told News 9 that 52 homes in the area were burned and all of the homes could be a total loss.

The fire prompted officials to close westbound Route 11 from Gilford to Alton. Calls initially came in as a brush fire before it quickly escalated.

It was not immediately reported whether anyone was inside.
