Fire Knocked Down At Amazon Facility In Nashua

NASHUA, NH — Nashua firefighters, busy with a house fire earlier in the day, assisted with another fire at the commercial building on Amherst Street on Tuesday.

Firefighters were sent to the building at 420 Amherst St. which also houses an Amazon facility, around 1:15 p.m., for a report of a building fire. Multiple teams as well as the AMR Ambulance arrived to find smoke showing from the building.

When they arrived, they discovered workers had been using a saw on the left rear side of the building and caused the fire, according to Deputy Chief Glen MacDonald of the Nashua Fire Department.

“The cutting process caused sparks to ignite siding and sheathing,” he said. “The workers attempted to extinguish the fire with fire extinguishers.”

Firefighters stretched a line and began extinguishing the fire in the exterior siding of the building. Other firefighters, he said, overhauled the interior wall and there was fire extension inside the building.

MacDonald said there were no injuries and the fire marshal is investigating.
