Volunteer depts. either have heard or will hear about the NFPAs new standard on volunteer depts. reponse time. I was told by my luetinant that NFPA says that after dispatch we should be enroute within one minute. That's no different than it is now. But then NFPA said that you mst be onscene within 4 minutes! Now hold on a second!!!!! We cover 100 square miles!!!! How is that possible? Yes I understand the concept of getting a sub station, bt how are you going to divide the dept. because everybody doesn't stay home, people work for the city that will end up living by the twp. land plot, and if we need that third engine we're going to be screwed because everybody will be at the main station!!!! What's up with NFPA???? It'll jst be better if they give us more time!!! Anyways, what do you think? thanks
