End of Watch: April 6, 2026
Nashua Fire Rescue – Fire Alarm | New Hampshire

In Memory of Samantha

Samantha Renee Allen was only 32 years old when she died on April 6, 2026.

Yet Samantha had already built a career dedicated to serving her community.

She began working for the City of Nashua in 2019 in parking enforcement. In August 2023, Samantha joined Nashua Fire Rescue as a Fire Alarm Operator.

She found her place behind the headset.

Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication quickly became apparent. Less than two years after joining Fire Alarm, Samantha was promoted to Fire Alarm Supervisor.

She also served her coworkers as the IAFF Local 789 steward for the Fire Alarm Division.

But there was another side of Samantha's life that mattered infinitely more than titles or promotions.

She was Mom.

Samantha was the proud mother of Gabriella and Adrianna, who were just 13 and 11 when they lost their mother.

Thirty-two years was nowhere near enough.

But within those years Samantha became a mother, public servant, dispatcher, supervisor, advocate, coworker, & friend.

Another person may eventually sit at her console.

There will never be another Samantha Allen.
