A Gazette analysis of more than 1,200 building fires from 2010 to 2014 shows Cedar Rapids arrived at those fires 62 percent of the time, while national guidance about a 60 percent threshold is debated. Officials note turnout and district size affect performance as calls increase and stations struggle to keep pace.
The Gazette reviewed full time departments 2010 to 2014 data measuring alarm to arrival times and turnout efficiency. It notes Cedar Rapids spent 2.8 million on a west side station with average firefighter pay around 45 997 and staffing of about 12. The NFPA targets 80 to 90 second turnout times and containment rates varied from 74 percent to 63 percent in recent years.
