Firefighters Rescue Multiple Animals From House Fire In Goffstown

GOFFSTOWN, NH — Goffstown Fire Department received a report of a structure fire at 62 Wallace Road on Thursday.

When responders arrived just after 9:30 a.m. they had heavy fire from a two-car garage attached to a single-family house. The incident commander immediately requested a working fire status bringing multiple area communities to the scene and covering Goffstown stations.

Firefighters worked to knock down the heavy fire in the garage while other firefighters searched the house for occupants. Two cats and a dog were safely rescued from the home.

Crews removed a garage door for better access and held fire primarily to the garage with some extension into a breezeway. The living space of the structure received some smoke damage, but the fire did not extend into the house.

After the fire was extinguished, Goffstown fire investigators began searching for the cause and origin of the fire. At this time, no information has been released on the cause, but it appears it started inside the front corner of the garage based on evidence that could be seen.

No firefighters were injured, and it was confirmed no people were home at the time of the fire.
