Retained call out times.

  • Hi all. Hope everyone has had a good Christmas holiday.


    I have a question. Mainly aimed at out British emergency works or someone who has a good Indepth knowledge of the retained system.


    I am aware that to be a retained Firefighter you have to be able to respond in 5min or less.


    Now when this happens... what is the average response time for the engine leaving the station from the initial call out alert?


    I have a retained systems in the game set at the maximum 5min before deploying. But I just wish to what would the average be.



    Also it would be good to know from the users who are or play volunteer fire departments from across the world.



    I hope I have explained this well enough.



    Thanks



    Stuart

  • Depends on where you are, for example Suffolk fire and rescue allow firefighters to be up to 10 minutes away from some of their stations, I think it’s because of manpower shortages
