There is pretty good research that shows this to be a fairly accurate assessment of the actual travel time for fire apparatus in an emergency response condition.<br /><br />We have a network of traffic signal preemption devices activated from fire apparatus. You'd love to have one of those transmitters, but alas....Tom Casadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188041481309059441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-89936600008644626432012-04-21T12:37:35.813-05:002012-04-21T12:37:35.813-05:00Director,

For instance "O" Street at three o'clock in the morning and seven in the morning is going to be vastly different. Before spending million$ on relocating fire stations I hope things like managing traffic signals and improving traffic flows are investigated. Maybe ONE WAY streets or eliminating Left turn lanes at certain intersections? After all of these have been explored then relocation might be considered.<br />Gun NutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-85827897718342864312012-04-20T14:40:57.378-05:002012-04-20T14:40:57.378-05:00Greg,

I think the concept is a good one, and I can't imagine anyone would have many objections to it other than (perhaps) people living next to the proposed new stations. Sirens and horns in the distance is one thing; right next door is another. I don't see much of a solution for that one, though.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369138557977907215noreply@blogger.com
