Our personnel handle all runs on a volunteer response ( meaning whoever is available and gets to station first ). For EMS calls during nighttime hours we do have 5 different squad duty groups of 4 that respond from home during their designated nights. In 2022 our average response from time of dispatch to time enroute was 4.52 minutes on fire calls & 5.46 minutes on EMS calls.
