Master Plan Nashua Fire Rescue, NH
Water Supply and Hydrant Locations
Access to water is a fundamental requirement for fire suppression in urban settings. Without an adequate
supply of water, fire suppression operations are challenging. Additionally, the access point for this water
supply must be located close enough to the structure to allow for rapid access by the fire department.
Next, fire hydrant coverage within Nashua is displayed using ISO requirement that structures must be located
within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant.

At nearly total coverage, Nashua’s water supply should be sufficient in most areas of the city. For the small
pockets that lack fire water coverage within 1,000 feet, Nashua Fire Rescue should work with both the water
utility provider and preplan structures within those areas to ensure an adequate water supply can be
established and maintained.
