In
emergency
services,
time is
everything….
Through
strategic
placement
of
department’s
5 fire
stations,
the
department
ensures
both
advanced
medical
life
support
and
fire/rescue
response
within
the NFPA
standard
of 4
minutes
or less
to over
96% of
the
City.
Every
station
and
piece of
Fire/EMS
equipment
is
critical
to
service
delivery.
If any
unit is
unavailable,
response
times
can
increase
resulting
in a
proportional
increase
in the
potential
loss of
life and
property
in a
fire or
rescue
incident
as well
as
decreased
survivability
of a
citizen
in
cardiac
arrest.
It is
the
reason
firefighters
and
paramedics
take
such
pride in
their
quick
turn out
and
response
to an
emergency.
They
know
seconds
can make
the
difference.
