Wytheville VA - 4 minute response time

https://www.wdbj7.com/2021/03/13/one-year-after-fire-and-ems-services-merge-wytheville-sees-faster-response-times/

50% better since fire and ems merged

ems is quicker because they dont have to gear up

which poses an interesting question - what if rigs were set up to have 1 driver in front - with no gear on - and everyone else in back putting on gear as they travel to scene - saves 30 seconds to 60 seconds gearing up in station - pants - boots - jacket - hood - helmet - gloves - scba

I suspect that usually in the usa - for paid agencies going to fire calls - they put on all gear before stepping on truck - except for maybe hood and helmet and gloves and scba
