4 minutes, 6 minutes…. they work hard. Rush into places most definitely would not, they are well trained and shame on you for trying to belittle them. Their next rescue could be you, stop the complaining and be grateful that there’s someone willing to risk theirs for yours.

Of course, with government, the worse the performance the more they try to spin it as good. The response time was terrible. I bet it paid overtime to walk around the debris for 4 days.

Spend your golden years whining and complaining. Watching all you NIMBYS, act the way you do – warms my heart. Life is short – complain all you can, about everything. You are to cowardice to even use your real names. Real tough commenting under an alias. Jokers, posers, one and all.

You would think it is “Great strategery! Visionary masterpiece.” if SFD put a fire station an every block. It would still take them over six minutes to respond.

We can never be too safe, right?

Los Angeles Fire Department leaves the station after a turnout in an average of 1 minute 15 seconds. If you figure a two minute drive time, ( for under a mile with lights and siren) it took SFD 4 minutes and 7 seconds to turn out. Then they let the structure burn to the ground, because well, they give lots of excuses.

In other words, they got there pretty slow and just watched. Great job !!!

The distance according to Google maps is .9 mile. If SFD was driving 30 mph it should have taken SFD one minute to drive. If it took them 5 minutes to leave the fire house they need to have a few drills or perhaps not be so sound asleep when the alarm sounds. They should have been able to run there in 6 minutes. Good thing no one was having a heart attack.

Of course the Village station is only 5 minutes away. There is the other little factor the the Chapel station gets maybe 1 call out a week.

Great idea putting a fire station at that location. Amazing foresight. Great strategery! Visionary masterpiece.
