seems very odd - seems to be a huge archilles heel throughout this - volunteer turnout times range from 3 to 10 minutes - that must have a huge effect on fire losses - maybe not - maybe VFDs never make any bld saves anyhow but in the cities and suburbs - if the Ffs are poorly trained - its almost like you dont have any FD - and the only thing that keeps a city from burning down totally is pure luck - which Middleton CA did not have in 2015 - and Colorado Springs did not have before them - and etc etc etc Answer me this - if every barn in the USa had smoke detectors - and every smoke detector system in a barn was wirelessly connected into the 911 systems - would barn fire losses in the USA essentially drop to zero? Would that be a $500M saving with a $10M cost? How about extending that question to homes and commercial structures. Should this be the focus of FDs in the USA versus the ISO focus on hauling water to fires. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
