Nashua Fire Rescue, NH
The next figure provides an analysis of incident density using three years of fire rescue response data from
January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2019. This analysis, commonly referred to as Hot Spot Mapping,
calculates areas of greatest demand based on the density of incidents within an area. This analysis does not
indicate how many calls actually occurred within each ring, but instead provides a way to compare each area
to one another. In this analysis, each ring is calculated to display incidents per square mile and provides a
range of how densely located calls for service were to each other.

The areas indicated as having the highest levels of incident density correlate with those areas identified as
having the densest populations from the previous figure. While stations 1, 2, and 4 surround the region of
greatest calculated density, it does not necessarily mean that these units are busier than others, particularly
those stations with larger service areas. However, this analysis would suggest that the stations surrounding
the downtown area are located proximal to the majority of their service demand.
