roxbury nh is 71 air miles from boston - parsonfield maine is 95 air
miles from boston - wilmot nh is 85 air miles from boston - dont think
they have a fd either

119 air miles from boston to mount washington mass - they dont have a fd either

all of these towns are covered by adjacent towns who are maybe only 5
to 10 miles away - so its not like wyoming or alaska where you can be
100 ground miles from a structural FD

that stretch of interstate between baker california and las vegas is
94 miles - and there are no structural FDs between them - ish
