Analysis

Ratings for response time have improved since the implementation of the "Duty Crew" Firefighter model in 2014.
Why is this Important?

Timely arrival to emergency scenes can dramatically improve the outcomes for not only the person who is having the emergency but also the safety of the responders. Early arrival prevents incidents from spiraling out of control and out pacing available resources.
