Response Times
 In
2008, Evanston firefighters and paramedics responded to over 9,000 calls with a
team averaging 26 first-responders on duty every day. Our current staffing
provides the Citizens, students, and visitors of Evanston a prompt response time
that is within nearly 2 minutes from each station to your emergency. Our
proud members strive to provide excellent service to the City of Evanston 24
hours of each and every day.
 
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 needing EMS
advanced life support.
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.
