1.01 ALS Response Time (2015)

The Tempe Fire Medical Rescue Department (TFMR) is an “all hazards” department that responds to all types of calls for service. Advanced Life Support (ALS) is an advanced set of life supporting procedures that go further than Basic Life Support (BLS) to assist the ill or injured with breathing, blood circulation, and other vital functions in emergencies. The response time for providing Advanced Life Support for a life-threatening event is related to patient outcomes (chance of full recovery).This data is based on calls received by the Phoenix 911 system and given an Advanced Life Support (ALS) response code, indicating the nature of the call.Alarm Processing Time (also known as Dispatch Time to Notification Time) is calculated from the time Phoenix 911 answers the call to the time Phoenix 911 notifies a Fire Department Unit.Turnout Time (also known as Acknowledgment Time to Roll Time) is calculated from the time a Fire Department Unit is notified of the call to the time the unit rolls out of the station or begins proceeding to the incident.Travel Time (also known as Roll Time to Arrival Time) is calculated from the time a Fire department Unit starts proceeding to an incident to the time it arrives at the incident.The performance measure dashboard is available at 1.01 Fire Response Time.Additional Information Source: Tempe Fire Medical Rescue Department/Phoenix Fire Department DispatchContact:  Jim SchmitContact E-Mail:  Data Source Type:  TabularPreparation Method:  Publish Frequency:  MonthlyPublish Method:  ManualData Dictionary
