London UK FD response time info

https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/news/2019-news/june/fire-engines-arriving-faster-due-to-improved-999-system/

turnout time dropped from 2.4 to 1.4 minutes over 10 years (chute time
- shout time - mobilization time) (sliding the pole time)

call taker time is still 1.4 or 1.0 minutes on average - dont they
have ALI connected to CAD?

average response time for first engine is 5 minutes - 6 minutes for 2nd engine

they went from 112 stations to 102 stations - and from 170 engines to
100 engines over last 20 years

you can see that still 50% of their stations have 2 engines

fatal fires commonly see a 10 minute delay in 999 calls

IMHO - this is some of the most informative info on the Internet about
any FD anywhere on the planet

One thing to check - is their fire death rate still trending downwards?
