• Good Samaritan helps put out a fire in Nashua, NH (wmur.com) — A Nashua couple is crediting their quick-thinking neighbor for saving their home after he sprinted over with their garden hose to knock down flames engulfing their garage. Fire crews finished the job, limiting damage to the garage and smoke inside the house, and no one was hurt—leaving the homeowners deeply grateful for a simple act of courage.
   

• Nashua's Yesterdays: Nashua High School – Then and Now (Part 1 of 2) (inklink.news) — If you went to high school in Nashua, this deep dive traces how your school's roots stretch back to one‑room schoolhouses, private academies, and long‑gone buildings on Main, Spring, and Park streets. From the Somersworth Act to scarlet fever closures and the birth of report cards, it shows how Nashua's public education system slowly evolved into today's high schools.
   

• FTC Finalizes $930K Cox Media 'Active Listening' Orders (upriseri.com) — A Nashua-based marketing firm, MindSift LLC, is one of three companies ordered by the FTC to pay a combined $930,000 over a misleading "Active Listening" ad product. Regulators say the service never actually used voice data, instead reselling email lists while claiming hyper-local targeting and consumer consent that didn't exist, prompting long-term oversight and refund efforts.
