While the overall travel performance within Nashua is near or below 4 minutes, there are areas of the city
that experience increased travel times. Areas north of the airport are difficult to reach directly due to the
location of Station 5, and areas along the western border experience longer travel times as well. The
commercial area between the Nashua Country Club and Circumferential Highway along the Merrimack River
is an area for future evaluation. This location, as well as most locations along the river, are prime locations
for additional development within the city. As commercial fires are generally more labor-intensive responses,
delayed travel times to this area may compound fire suppression efforts. Additionally, increased
development most often leads to increases in demands for services.
