Response Time Performance
Response time is the amount of time from initial notification to the fire department until the first unit arrives
on-scene. While not specifically addressed by NFPA 1710, it is a combination of turnout and travel time
standards or 5 minutes, 4 seconds for the majority of responses and 5 minutes, 24 seconds for fire and special
operations calls.

is turnout performance. Turnout is the time it takes personnel to receive the dispatch information, move to
the appropriate apparatus, and begin responding to the incident.
