Set formal response time standards for Richmond Fire Department emergency calls
Resolution 62-25
In Plain English
Richmond Fire Department already targets 6-minute response times for emergencies but has never formally adopted this as an official standard. The formal standards align with national fire service benchmarks and make the city eligible for county emergency medical service grants. If approved, the department must arrive within 6 minutes for 90% of emergency calls.
