Second Alarm Blaze Destroys Nashua Home, Occupants Displaced, No One Injured

NASHUA, NH — A two-alarm fire ripped through a residential home on Spindlewick Drive early Sunday morning, causing extensive damage and displacing two residents.

Nashua Fire Rescue received multiple calls at approximately 3:05 a.m., reporting a structure fire at 24 Spindlewick Drive. The first unit on the scene, Engine 6, found the two-story residence engulfed in heavy flames. Firefighters immediately launched an aggressive attack, with engine companies deploying multiple hose lines to battle the fire on both floors and in the attic. Ladder companies worked to ventilate the building and protect neighboring homes from the intense heat.

Due to the size and severity of the blaze, Lt. Hansen requested a second alarm, bringing in additional companies to assist in the effort. At the scene, the homeowners confirmed that all occupants had been safely evacuated from the building.

After an hour of intense firefighting, crews were able to bring the fire under control. The home sustained extensive fire and smoke damage and has been deemed uninhabitable. The American Red Cross is assisting the two displaced occupants with finding temporary housing.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the Nashua Fire Marshal's Office. Hudson, Manchester, Merrimack, Hollis, and Tyngsborough provided mutual aid for station coverage.

It was reported that there were working smoke detectors in the home. Nashua Fire Rescue reminds occupants that when you hear smoke detectors sounding, exit the building immediately, closing doors behind you.
