Summary
Three felony reckless-conduct counts and 10 other charges were filed after Nestor Roman II allegedly stole a Whitefield Fire & Rescue truck from his burning Dalton home, then crashed it several miles away.
Around 5 a.m., Roman allegedly drove around Whitefield's E3 engine, nearly hit three firefighters, struck the engine and a pickup, and ran over multiple water lines as crews fought a fully involved blaze.
Troopers found Roman on a homeowner's porch after the wreck, where he was allegedly trying to take items; police said he was uncooperative before being taken into custody.
The house was declared a complete loss, but Whitefield's damaged E3 stayed operational and no firefighters were physically injured; the New Hampshire Fire Marshal is investigating the fire's cause.
