Fire Protection System Performance <br /> <br />The computer aided dispatch (CAD) data for the fire departments in the City of Medina <br />was limited. In October 2018, the dispatch center changed to a new CAD system and the <br />old data was archived. This archive process caused some of the older data to be <br />unusable. The data used in this analysis is from October 2018 through June 15, 2020. <br />The following table illustrates the travel time for the City of Medina and for each fire <br />department individually as compared to the CPSE performance benchmark for the rural <br />demographic. <br />
