Master Plan Nashua Fire Rescue, NH
When the relative frequency of incident types is compared, the majority (59.6%) of Nashua Fire Rescue’s
demand is for emergency medical services. Additionally, 35.7% of Nashua’s total call volume across the three-
year period was for nonemergent call types such as service calls, good intent, and false alarms. Fires,
hazardous conditions, and overpressure/overheating emergencies accounted for 4.5% of the total call
volume.
In Figure 67, GIS software was used to create a 10-acre hexagon grid across the City of Nashua. Geocoded
incident locations were added, and the number of incidents that occurred within each hexagon was
calculated and presented. Dark green hexagons represent 1 incident occurred within the hexagon, while red
hexagons represent incident counts from 250 to 1,200.

The areas of highest demand cluster between stations 1, 2, and 4 with additional increased demand in the
southeast and northwest areas of Nashua. The areas north of the airport should anticipate increased travel
times due to the location of Station 5 on the southeast corner of the airport. Outside of the areas identified,
most locations across Nashua accounted for lower levels of service demand, with many 10-acre areas
producing 2 to 10 calls for service from 2017 through 2019.
