Having a scanner and hearing the tones go out, I am aware of a significant amount of time an engine or medic is running but not moving, well after calling their status as enroute to a call.<br /><br />Sometimes it is because they are waiting for a lone crew member to get in... maybe a trip to the can before rolling. I have no idea why this is the case in other instances.<br /><br />Total time and call processing time are obviously easy to document. The travel and turnout times have to be skewed some by this.<br /><br /><br />Overall, it seems travel time is going to carry the most weight when making purchasing decisions for a new station.<br /><br />When determining where a perspective new station would be placed, based on response times,the cumulative of turnout and travel (since call processing time should be pretty consistent) if turnout times are at acceptable levels and travel times are not, how can you make this determination unless the stats are based on true times when status changes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-50696295339083418272012-06-05T07:09:04.227-05:002012-06-05T07:09:04.227-05:00ARRRRG: FUNNY!
