Criteria for Distribution of Companies

To reduce property damage from a fire, firefighters need to get to the scene quickly. Therefore, ISO evaluates the distribution of fire stations in each community.

ISO establishes "standard response districts" around each existing fire station. The standard response district for an engine company is a polygon defined by streets leading from the fire station out to a distance of 1.5 road miles. For a ladder-service company, the standard response district is a polygon defined by streets out to a distance of 2.5 road miles.
