"What happens when it's your kids that get in a car wreck? It's scary, and it's even more scary knowing that you're going to wait a while for personnel to arrive," said Moses Sanchez an Ahwatukee resident.
"The Valley is continuing to grow. Obviously, you know, we have the new freeway there that generates calls," said Capt. Joe Huggins, Phoenix Fire Department. "In the case of a fire, minutes count because that fire can spread. In the case of some type of medical emergency, say a heart attack, those minutes count," said Capt. Huggins.
