Man Pulled From Burning Building In Nashua By Firefighters

NASHUA, NH - Nashua Fire Rescue, and AMR responded to a call for a structure fire on Meadowbrook Drive Saturday night. While en route they were advised the caller said there was smoke coming from all the windows.

The first crews arriving reported heavy fire in the rear of the building, and heavy fire in the basement. Firefighters were hampered due to part of the first floor collapsing and what was described as hoarding conditions.

Crews extended a ladder truck to the roof while several firefighters attempted to search the house. After approximately 15 minutes an adult male was found and handed out the first-floor window to firefighters. The man was rushed to a waiting structure where AMR medics began CPR and rushed him to the waiting ambulance.

The fire was brought under control after about 30 minutes, and the Nashua Fire Marshal’s Office and NH State Fire Marshal were notified.

NH State Fire Marshal Paul Parisi said “he could confirm the NH State Fire Marshal’s Office is responding to assist Nashua fire and police with a possible fatal fire investigation.”

Yellow crime scene and fire tape cordoned off the single-family house as investigators began looking for the cause and origin of the fire.

Patch will update as additional information becomes available
