Man Rescued From River Near Pearson Avenue By Nashua Firefighters

NASHUA, NH — Nashua Fire Rescue, police, and AMR ambulance responded to the area of Pearson Avenue on Sunday for a report of a man in the Nashua River.

Responders arrived and found a man in the river who was still in the water and at the bottom of a steep embankment at about 11:40 a.m.

Firefighters put on water rescue suits while other firefighters communicated with the man who was conscious and speaking to firefighters.
