The Colorado Springs Fire Department wants to attend to those in need as soon as possible, which is why they have emergency response resources across the city. This method allows them to reach any place in the city in a matter of 8 minutes in nearly all cases.

Equipment
It is important for the fire department to have the necessary equipment to help out in all sort of situations. Do you want to know the heavy-duty equipment CSFD has? They are equipped with 22 engine companies, 11 brush trucks, 6 truck companies, 3 medical squads, 1 air supply truck, 1 hose wagon, 1 hazardous materials decontamination vehicle, 1 hazmat team, and 1 HeavyHazmate team. Whew! Of course, these things would not matter if they did not have the brave and talented people operating them.
