Deployed 5 months ago, Engine 80 has reduced response times in the East Village and Gaslamp Quarter to 3 minutes and 40 seconds on average.
SAN DIEGO — San Diego Fire-Rescue has been shrinking response times in the downtown area with the deployment of a roving peak-hour fire engine.
Covering East Village and the Gas Lamp Quarter, firefighters on Engine 4 have dealt with an extremely heavy workload for years. But now they have help with the addition of Engine 80, a new roving peak-hour engine that is sharing their call load for 12 hours a day between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. “The fastest response times anywhere in the City," said Fire Chief Stowell."At 3 minutes and 40 seconds for an average, that is really extremely fast.”
