Response Time
A lot of the jobs have something similar in common. They are all risky situations! This was the reason the Colorado Springs Fire Department has a huge team of responders all over the city. They want to ensure that they can send someone to an emergency as soon as possible. They can get to anywhere in the city within 8 minutes most of the time.
Equipment
It is possible for a fire to break out in many places at the same time. On top of that, every site might have a different sort of blaze. CSFD has an accumulation of various vehicles for different situations. There are 22 engine companies, 3 medical squads, 6 truck companies, 1 HeavyHazmat team, and 1 hazmat team. On top of that, they have 11 brush trucks to handle wildland fires, 1 hazardous-materials decontamination vehicle, 1 hose wagon, and 1 air supply truck.
