Nashua Firefighters Arrive To Smoke Coming From Home On Venus Lane

NASHUA, NH — Nashua Fire Rescue responded to Venus Lane for a call reporting a fire in a residence Sunday.

Nashua Fire Rescue arrived on the scene just after 10 a.m. and encountered smoke showing from a single-wide manufactured home. The homeowner was the only occupant and had exited the building before fire and rescue teams arrived.

Engine 6 and Engine 3 advanced two attack lines to begin extinguishing the fire, which was located under the home and had extended vertically into the bathroom and utility area.

Watch as firefighters quickly knock down the fire at the Venus Lane home.

Firefighters performed primary searches of the structure, confirming all occupants were accounted for. Additional fire companies provided water supply and ventilation at the scene. The fire was brought under control in under an hour.

The residence sustained significant fire and smoke damage and will be uninhabitable until repairs are made.

Merrimack Fire Rescue provided station coverage to Nashua. There were no reported injuries to firefighters or the occupant. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Nashua Fire Marshal’s Office.

Nashua Fire Deputy Chief Mark Wholey said the home had functioning smoke detectors. Wholey reminds people of the start of daylight savings time and clocks being adjusted, a reminder to change the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Also, when you discover a fire in your home, do not attempt to extinguish it. Exit the home immediately and call 911.
