Nashua Firefighters Extinguish Early Morning Garage Fire On Arlington Street

NASHUA, NH — Nashua fire and rescue crews quickly extinguished a garage fire on Arlington Street Friday morning.

Just before 3 a.m., dispatch received “numerous calls” about a building fire in the area of Arlington and King Streets, according to Deputy Chief Kevin Kerrigan. Firefighters from the Crown Hill station arrived to find heavy flames coming from the first floor of a detached garage at 64 1/2 Arlington St. Kerrigan said the fire was spreading to the structures on either side of the garage.

“Firefighters stretched numerous hose lines to stop the spread and extinguish the fire,” he explained. “Ladder companies conducted searches of the homes on both sides of the fully involved garage and helped evacuate both exposure homes.”

Two fire investigators are working to determine the cause.

Kerrigan reminded residents that when smoke detectors go off, evacuating immediately offers the best chance for safety.
