FARMINGTON, NH – On Thursday, November 6, 2025, at approximately 2045, the Farmington Fire Department was dispatched to 124 Central Street for a reported fire on the rear deck of a multi-unit residential building.

Farmington Engine 3 responded and immediately initiated a first-alarm assignment due to the potential for rapid fire spread. While en route, Farmington Police reported heavy fire showing from the rear of the structure and updated the corrected address was 114 central street.

Farmington Engine 3 arrived moments later. Crews rapidly deployed a handline to the rear of the structure and executed a swift, aggressive transitional attack—knocking down heavy fire conditions on the exterior and preventing further spread. Rochester Chief 2 arrived assume command and Rochester Engine 4 and Milton Truck 5 made an excellent interior push to the second floor, where they encountered heavy fire conditions. Crews worked seamlessly together to extinguish the blaze and hold it to the second-floor apartment.

Thanks to the first-due crew’s quick action and coordination, the fire was contained to the area of origin and prevented from extending into adjacent units. Mutual aid companies from Rochester, Milton, New Durham, Alton, Wakefield, Strafford and Wolfeboro responded to assist, with Frisbie EMS providing medical standby.

No injuries were reported. The building’s occupants were safely accounted for.

The Farmington Fire Department extends its sincere thanks to all mutual aid partners for their outstanding teamwork and support. The professionalism and coordination displayed by all agencies played a vital role in preventing further loss and ensuring the safety of residents and firefighters alike.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
