NASHUA, N.H. — December 2 — Nashua Fire Rescue responded to a building fire on Vine Street, transmitting a six-alarm report that drew seven mutual-aid agencies to the site. As units set up water supply lines, crews from nearby jurisdictions responded to help, setting up fire engines, ladder trucks, and support equipment. Command staff asked teams to position hose lines and ladders in readiness for a persistent suppression operation. Traffic in the area was restricted to keep the scene secure and support vehicle movement. The extensive reaction shows how mutual-aid agreements and regional coordination enable fire departments to promptly mobilize resources in the event of major events, guaranteeing backup is prepared when needed.
