Ready to Respond - Neighborhood Alert

Instead of waiting inside a station for emergency calls, our ambulances are constantly moving around our neighborhoods. Using computer technology to predict high-incident times and locations, our dispatch center deploys ambulances on "Neighborhood Alert" for quick response to calls. You've probably observed our ambulances "waiting in the wings" of your neighborhood.

Being in the right place at the right time has paid off... our response times to emergency scenes consistently exceed national standards for a High Performance EMS System. In urban emergencies, our ambulances arrive in 5 minutes most of the time, and in less than 9 minutes at least 90% of the time.
