Orono Fire Needs Assessment <br />38 | Page <br /> <br /> <br />The third element is Travel Time. Travel Time is the time from when an apparatus leaves the <br />station to when it arrives on scene. The existing road network, traffic congestion, geographic <br />barriers and the weather all affect travel time performance. NFPA 1720 doesn’t address travel <br />time, it is only in NFPA 1710. <br />The last element and the most important one, is Response Time. This is a combination of <br />Turnout and Travel Time. Response Time is the most common measurement of fire <br />departments response. The graph from NFPA 1720 below shows the target for the <br />classification and the percentile a unit should arrive.
