Fire Service Response Time includes both dispatch time and travel time. It begins when the Fire dispatcher receives the call and ends when the unit signals its arrival on the scene. The number of incidents used to calculate the response time may be lower than the total incidents due to omitted or incorrect unit arrival signals.

My hat is off to NY's Bravest for another year of "serious" firefighting.... =D>

Just a note here, some of those response times may actually be a little lower, considering there are units that occasionally neglect to go 10-84.
