on the website the restaurant says it has stood the test of time including the great fires of portsmouth in the early 1800's. sadly, today that narrative changed forever. fire crews training on the river spotted smoke this morning, the exact same time the 911 call came in. smoke was coming from the roof, the building has five stories and officials say the blaze that appears to have started on the first floor quickly traveled up the chimney and spread. within an hour the fire went to four alarms, bringing crews from surrounding towns and maine. the mixed use building has apartments on the upper floor that were heavily damaged. thankfully, no one was hurt. >> the guys were here quick, nay just come back from doing some training. we had two separate water supplies established quickly, we had access to the roof quickly, attack lines underneath the fire.

and it was a remarkable job. reporter: investigators have determined the cause of this fire, they are not ready to release it just yet. when we saw them they were speaking with the owner and breaking the news to him just a couple of hours ago. coming up at 6:00, you'll hear from an eyewitness who watched that smoke, watched the attack on this fire and talks about what this restaurant means to the city. for now, live in portsmouth, amy coveno, wmur news 9. jennifer: tonight a former camp counselor who admitted to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in august of 2012 has learned his sentence. david johansen pleaded guilty today in nashua to three felony counts. authorities say he faces more in another state. wmur's kristen carosa has the details. reporter: johansen will serve two to six years in prison for sexually soughting the 15-year-old boy, it happened when he spent the night at the boy's house. the to met at a christian camp in hillsboro where johansen was a counselor.

during the course of the night johansen sexually assaulted the then 15-year-old boy. the victim did come forward and when police questioned johansen he admitted to what he had done. in court this morning, johansen pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated felonious sexual assault and two counts of felonious sexual assault. johansen is also accused of a similar crime in massachusetts. >> there are at least three other charges for similar conduct that are pending here in massachusetts that he will be pleaing to on december 14, 2015. >> i'm a bigger man here, you're going somewhere, and i do feel bad for you. you need a lot of help. you immediate to learn a lot. reporter: once johansen finishes his sentence in new hampshire he will be sent to massachusetts to complete the remainder of his sentence there. he will also have to register as a sex offender. kristen carosa, wmur news 9.

second degree murder. heather hamel explains how the a.g. wants a concerted effort to make this happen all the time. reporter: attorney foster says he's met with county attorneys, law enforcement agencies around the state, the d.e.a., all to make this happen. he says deadly overdoses need to be treated like a crime scene. drug overdoses continue to skyrocket the new hampshire. the attorney general says there are predictions that the number may surpass 400 by the end of the year. >> our thought is what you're selling is deadly, you as a dealer have to know that you'll be charged with reckless second degree murder or what they call a death resulting case. reporter: foster says there are five cases under review that may fall into this category and recently there was one in little to be. in october michael millet pleaded guilty on a count of selling fen that fill that resulted in the death of a 28-year-old. he will spend at least seven and

>> overdoses are really crime scenes. so with things like cell phones, social media, i think there's enhanced ways to track down whether this person, where they got the drugs, how they sold it did, they know what they were selling and how deadly it was. reporter: this week foster talked about the approach to a legislative task force dealing with bills focused on tackling the heroin epidemic. he wants lawmakers to approve a new drug prosecutor to happy carry the increasing case load. >> i think the charging a drug dealer with second degree murder may well have merit. reporter: senator bradley who chairs the task force says legislators will likely fund the position. just one approach. the task force has been looking at everything from increased penalties for sell fentanyl to drug courts and more money for undercover police operations. >> i think we are making some pretty significant progress here and hopefully we'll have a package that the full legislature after a public hearing in early january will be able to pass.

and presidential candidate jeb bush was the life of the party today at the new hampshire institute of politics, that's the name of the new series that invites candidates to sit down in an informal setting with millennials and young professionals and answer more personal questions. bush talked about life on the campaign trail today and how much he misses sleeping in his own bed, how hard it is to find time to read or work out. he was also asked about which historical figures he would invite to a party at the white house. >> i would have loved to meet and have a conversation with neil armstrong. i think discovery of space is something that is deeply underestimated in terms of its, how uniquely an american experience that is and how phenomenal it is for us to maintain our space program, to talk to some of, somebody who was the first to walk on the moon. josh: organizers hope to host primary.

>> not a lot to talk about now, but there's some milder air on the way. could be mixed precipitation overnight. we'll show you that on future cast in a moment. that was a great light display, by the way. let's take a look at our display of temperatures. these are the highs today. while it wasn't warm, it was certainly above average. look at that average, it's 39 for concord and we did better than that. in fact, the month of december thus far it's the 9th, including today, it a days above average and only one day that was december 1st that was below the average temperature. every other day has been above. even with dropping temperatures we're still above the average temperature right now. lower 30's in northern new hampshire, 30's in parts of the upper valley and the lakes region. southern new hampshire still in the 40's right now. it latest be a milder night because of the cloud cover out there, and also the chance of some fog, maybe some drizzle, it will capture that temperature and hold it in place so it doesn't fall a we'll lot more, except for areas farther north

shielded by the mountains. it is a very weak impulse, a warm front that's approaching right here and as it moves through the state tonight and pull as way tomorrow morning it does bring more clouds, fog, drizzle and the chance of a few showers, and because of the cooler temperatures in the mountains it could bring a few areas at the higher elevations of some mixed precipitation briefly. but that really would just be in the mountains. here's the warmth and it's headed in our direction, it's a big area and that means several days in a row of temperatures, get this, on average in the 50's. starting tomorrow, and going right through the weekend and into part of next week as well. so let's take a look at future cast and show you all the clouds start of locked in tonight, a little bit of some breaks, a few breaks in the north country allowing those temperatures to be cooler and watch some of these mixed showers, a possible spot or two in the mountains, higher elevations overnight into early tomorrow morning. these are spotty showers,

wetter overnight into early tomorrow morning, then the scattered showers pull away around lunch time tomorrow and in the afternoon, especially mid to late afternoon, there could be a few breaks of sun, could go partly sunny in some areas and then we get into sunday, excuse me, friday, saturday and sunday, and we're clearing out. temperatures getting much, much milder as well as the jet stream does a major flip flop here and brings a ridge of high pressure up and milder conditions. so the forecast for tonight, we'll see a few areas of drizzle or fog, 30's most everywhere. but not below freezing except for some areas farther to the north and then tomorrow we'll see the temperatures heading up even farther. and there's a look at the week ahead. one two three for five days with temperatures averaging in the 50's. jennifer: this has been quite something. still ahead tonight, a norovirus outbreak linked to a chipotle location in boston is growing,

restaurant. josh: the mystery of a good samaritan at the boston common has been identified, who has been leaving warm clothing on the trees for people who need it. it's called a rigged economy, and this is how it works. most new wealth flows to the top 1%. it's a system held in place by corrupt politics where wall street banks and billionaires buy elections. my campaign is powered by over a million small contributions,
