Ladder Company Performance
In many jurisdictions across the country, ladder companies are deployed only to certain types of incidents
and are not necessarily considered as the first due unit for all other incident types. Because of this, ISO uses
a 2.5 road-mile travel distance for ladder companies to estimate an 8-minute travel time in urban and
suburban areas by ladder companies to provide the balance of personnel and equipment needed for incidents
such as working fires. The next figure displays Nashua Fire Rescue’s ladder company performance in the city.
