    So much anger from Councillor Doucette on response time, but nary a peep on turnout times.

    From the WPI FPRF Mobilization Study:
    13 North American fire departments – 123 sec. to get dressed
    Toronto Fire – 188 seconds to get dressed.
    65 additional agonizing seconds than their NA peers.

    From the WPI FPRF Mobilization Study: Turnout over a 60′ course:
    Toronto Fire Pumper 212 – 56 seconds
    Toronto Fire Rescue 412 – 80 seconds
    The exact same test but with a deadly 24 sec. difference

    Toronto Fire promised to cut 60 sec. from Turnout Time by 2012 at no additional cost, but they did nothing. Why?
