Fewer First-Responders
Reductions
in
first-responders
can mean longer
response times
to handle a
fire, medical
emergency or
homeland
security
emergency.
Everyday,
firefighters and
paramedics put
their lives on
the line - ready
to serve you and
our community.
Longer 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.
Disaster Response
When
a natural or
man-made
disaster occurs,
Evanston depends
on its fire and
paramedic
first-responders.
Higher Insurance Costs
Evanston
enjoys lower
insurance rates
because of the
Evanston Fire
Dept's Class 3
ISO rating.
