Radio Ref wikis have lists of FDNY units - plus private ambs - 5/25/2017 - I should compare to the maps to see if the info matches - some day
---------------------------------------------
5 December 2015 - per NYCfire.net March 2015 - FDNY engines are staffed with 1 officer and 4 firefighters (privates) for a total of 5 people on each Engine - FDNY Ladders, Rescues, Squads, and Haz Mat Engines are staffed with 1 officer and 5 firefighters each for a total of 6 people per vehicle - HazMat 1 is staffed by 1 officer and 7 firefighters - (there might be some outlying sections of the city where the engines are staffed by 1 officer and 3 fire fighters - that might be called "roster manning")
10 Oct 2012 - looking at the Fire Statistics page at the FDNY website - average 4 minute response time (call receipt to arrival) for fire units - 5 minutes for ambulances to Category 1 calls (cardiac arrest and choking) - 2:1 ratio between BLS ambulances and ALS ambulances - daily average of 630 BLS ambulance tours (8 hours = 1 tour) plus 360 ALS ambulance tours - (typically 2 crew members per ambulance AFAIK) - unknown how many died on fires - unknown save rate for EMS - unknown number of fire rescues made
Questions - can 30 seconds be saved on calltaking (via improved procedures possibly) - can 30 seconds be saved on turnout times (via sleeping on apparatus floor or having smaller crews or having roving patrols) - can 30 seconds be saved on travel times (by better control of traffic lights)
