A new project here at HRM Fire News.

"Problems impacting response times": a running list.

Getting the best and fastest response to residents on every call should be a prime goal of the fire department.

Unfortunately, through a variety of problems relating to how units are assigned, CAD, coverage, and the structure of dispatch, HRFE isn't achieving this goal.

This is a major problem impacting responses on a daily basis. It's often correctable but not getting enough attention.

So, I'm going to start a list in an effort to keep everyone informed. The list is just a start for now but I'll add to it over time, so they're all in one place, in the event anybody in a position of power ever decides to look into this stuff.

10 minute response delay on a medical call due to no area coverage.
