Turnout times: How important is incident time of day?
Current Issues and Events | Feb. 1, 2018
Our latest Current Issues and Events article highlights findings from recent
research into how station design of dormitory location and the time of
day of the emergency affect turnout times.
Key finding: Time of day had the greatest impact on response times. Station design was not the main factor in turnout time.
The U.S. Fire Administration recommends everyone should have a comprehensive home fire protection plan that includes smoke alarms, fire sprinklers, and practicing a fire escape plan.
