NFR was dispatched to 76 Pike Street at 4:26 PM for a reported building fire. Engine 4 the first arriving company’s found heavy fire showing from a 2-1/2 story wood frame 2 family home. Crews stretched numerous hand lines to extinguish the fire. 3 alarms were called bringing all Nashua apparatus and mutual aid from Merrimack and Tyngsborough to assist.

1 occupant had minor burns and was treated at the scene.

1 Nashua Firefighter was transported to the hospital with a neck injury and 1 Firefighter from Tyngsborough was transported for heat exhaustion

The fire remains under investigation by the Nashua Fire Marshal’s office but does not appear to be suspicious.
