ISO Questions

I am with a small Volunteer Fire Dept we have 25 square miles of coverage area and currently operate out of 2 stations and have 95% residential structures we currently operate 3 engines all have 1250+ pump capability and one Service company. Now my question does anyone know should we have another service I have a brush unit that could be converted and that would give us an additional service but I am unsure if there is the need for it all answers appreciated.

How much hose??
You need 1200 of which 800 needs to be 2 1/2 or larger.
As for the need ISO will tell you, we are about that same size and are required to have 2 engines, we have 3, get credit for the reserve.
