Just before 1800 hours on July 21, 2008 Engine 4, Engine 2, Engine 1 and Ladder 2 along with Deputy Allison and the Safety Officer responded to a reported building fire on Bowers Street. Nashua Fire Alarm reported to the companies responding that multiple calls were coming in reporting a fire on the second floor. Deputy Allison arrived with Engine 4 and reported smoke showing from the second floor of a 2.5 story wood-frame. The fire was contained to a bedroom on the second floor apartment and was quickly extinguished. The Nashua Fire Marshal's Office investigated the fire and determined it was caused by a child playing with matches.
