Everyone commenting on the chute times have zero clue what they are on about. I worked at this station (ret in 2016) and 19's was busy, we would average 15+ EMS runs in a 24. Couple that with understaffing, a large volume of EMS calls and overworked ER's, it wasn't unusual for crews to get tied up for several hours at Parkland or Baylor for instance, it creates a domino effect of being chronically overworked without enough sleep. So to go from dead asleep to rolling in under two minutes is doing pretty good.
The slow response may be because of shots fired, which would mean they would stage until PD secures the scene. Did anyone hear the gun fire in the background?
Thank you. I am trying to get better with each catch I get. Some of my videos aren’t that good because I am on the road all day everyday for work so usually I can’t just stop jump out to get a better view if you know what I mean.
I’ve been on the job for 33 years. The NFPA Standard 1710 establishes an 80 second “ turnout time” and 240 second “ Travel Time “ together , 320 seconds or 5 minutes and 20 seconds response time. Hope this helps out.
You talk like you know what the nature of the call was. How about you go do a ride out at that station and see what they deal with on new years eve. Don’t even have a clue what they were going on or how many calls they have been running. Talk what you know! Waste of tax payers dollars? Do you even live or work in the city of Dallas? Pipe down Karen and enjoy the flashily lights and beautiful trucks
