This is for the first unit, which could be a command vehicle <br />with chief or duty officer, an engine or rescue with a crew. <br /> <br />The numbers shown above is all emergency response time for LLFD. This includes every call <br />whether it was a code or routine response. LLFD’s response time falls within the Rural Area <br />Demand Zone but not the Suburban Area Demand Zone. Orono falls into the Suburban Area <br />Demand Zone and the City of Long Lake falls within the Urban Demand Zone. The City of Long <br />Lake proposed a trial period of Duty Crews in the summer of 2020 but due to COVID cancelled <br />this plan. <br />3.6.4 Mutual/Automatic Aid Systems <br />LLFD does participate in Hennepin County’s mutual/automatic aid systems. As Chief of LLFD, I <br />developed the box alarm system for the fire service area. LLFD also participates in the <br />statewide mutual aid system. As Fire Chief, LLFD did deploy to Becker to assist with a massive <br />junk yard fire in February of 2020. <br />Mutual aid is typically employed on an as needed basis where specific units are called for by the <br />incident commander. Automatic aid differs from mutual aid in that units are dispatched as part <br />of the initial response. All aid is predetermined ahead of time and is set up by area of where <br />the incident occurred and what type of call is happening. All mutual aid and automatic aid are <br />agreed upon ahead of time. These agreements facilitate the necessary number of personnel <br />and the appropriate apparatus are responding to the incident. Below is a graph that shows the <br />auto and mutual aid given and received by LLFD over the past 10 years. <br />0:08:03 0:08:25 0:09:19 0:08:32 0:08:29 0:08:41 0:08:35 0:08:56 0:09:01 <br />0:11:00 0:11:00 0:12:00 0:11:30 0:11:05 0:11:14 0:11:12 0:11:56 0:11:520:12:34 0:13:22 0:14:07 0:13:53 0:13:04 0:12:47 0:12:49 0:13:53 0:13:52 <br />0:00:00 <br />0:02:53 <br />0:05:46 <br />0:08:38 <br />0:11:31 <br />0:14:24 <br />0:17:17 <br />2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 <br />First Unit <br />Avg 80th 90th
