Neighboring business manager helps evacuate people from Nashua building fire
A building on Amherst Street in Nashua is a total loss after a fire Friday night.
The Nashua Fire Department officials thinks the fire started at Lanna Asian Market shortly after 7:15 p.m. on Friday.
Keith Nguyen, manager at Kung Fu Tea and Fried Chicken, said once he noticed the fire from across the parking lot, he and a co-worker rushed to the scene to make sure everyone was evacuated.
After they made sure everyone in Lanna Asian Market was OK, they told the employees of Ciao’s Pizza who didn’t know there was a fire.
"They realized there was a ton of smoke, so I run in and say, 'There's a fire! You need to evacuate.' They were like, 'There's a fire?'" Nguyen said.
There were no injuries, but it's a night that Nguyen will never forget.
"Just a surreal experience. Then coming here this morning and seeing it, kind of breaks my heart 'cause they're such nice people, and they didn't deserve what happened to them," Nguyen said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
