Response Time
The Colorado Springs does everything in their power to help people as fast as they can and to do so, they have emergency response resources dispersed around the city. It is an excellent idea, and this way they can reach any area all within 8 short minutes.

If they want to help people to this extent then the fire department needs special equipment for different types of circumstances. The CSFD has 22 engine companies, 6 truck companies, 1 hazmat team, 1 HeavyHazmate team, and 3 medical squads. They also have 11 brush trucks to handle wildland firefighting, an air supply truck, a vehicle for hazardous materials decontamination and 1 hose wagon that can be filled with a team of people ready for any emergencies.
