Heavy Flames Reported From Nashua Apartment Building Fire

NASHUA, NH — Nashua fire received multiple 911 calls at about 6:45 a.m. Saturday for a fire at a house at Hanover and Kinsley streets.

While firefighters were en route, there were reports of people potentially trapped on the second floor. When crews arrived they had heavy fire showing from the porch that was quickly extending into the house. Firefighters set up ladder trucks, ground ladders and began to search the building and assist in evacuations.

Firefighters knocked the exterior fire down and had to open walls and ceilings where the fire had extended.

Several occupants of the building escaped safely and watched as crews worked to chase hotspots.

It is unknown how many people were displaced but sources say there are multiple apartments in the building.

The Nashua Fire Marshals Office is investigating the fire and, at this time, the cause and origin are unknown. No firefighters or civilians were injured in the incident.

As additional information becomes available Nashua Patch will update this post.
