While the central core of Nashua should have the ability to adequately provide emergency responses with
the first due unit arriving in a 4-minute or less travel time, other areas of the city lie outside of this standard.
Of particular note are those areas previously identified as having high incident counts or increased incident
density, specifically the southeast part of the city east of the Everett Turnpike and, to a lesser extent, areas
north and west of the airport. Nashua Fire Rescue’s ability to assemble an Effective Response Force (ERF) will
be evaluated in the Resource Concentration section. The decision as to whether or not a community possesses
adequate coverage is dependent upon the expectations of the community and their ability to fund services.
While ideally all structures would be located within a 4-minute travel time and a sufficient number of
firefighters present, in most communities this is not possible. The City should evaluate the fire department's
current capabilities and determine if they meet the community's expectations.
