NASHUA, NH — A GoFundMe.com effort has been started to support eight people who were displaced after a fire on Carver Street on Saturday.

Nashua firefighters were sent to the two-story duplex around 4:30 a.m. All the occupants of the duplexes were able to escape — including two who escaped from a second-floor window.

Alan Ferman started the fundraiser to support the families.
