Master Plan Nashua Fire Rescue, NH
These examples are presented as a “total picture” approach to determining an apparatus’s operational
status, as opposed to simply replacing a unit based upon an arbitrary number that may or may not apply to
the department. Should Nashua Fire Rescue's leadership establish a similar model, it must be understood
that the entire fleet should be updated annually.
A comprehensive review of the distribution and deployment of Nashua’s fire engines and aerial units is
provided in the Service Delivery section of this report. The current number and types of apparatus are
sufficient in quantity to service the City of Nashua. The determination to locate types of units within any
community’s jurisdiction cannot be based entirely on a one-size-fits-all approach, and the needs of each
community must be considered. With this in mind, any future decisions relative to the locations of these
apparatus should be based upon the actual performance of each apparatus when measured against adopted
performance standards.
The full inventory of Nashua Fires Rescue’s fire engines and aerial units is listed in the following figure.

utility functions relative to emergency response, administration, and fire prevention. As with the emergency
response units, Nashua Fire Rescue leadership has identified these units within its capital replacement
planning activities. In general, Nashua Fire Rescue has established a range of seven to ten years as a guideline
for the replacement of these units. In reviewing these types of units, the Department currently has an average
age of 6.69 years.
