I witnessed a accident a long time ago and if you had a good enough arm i bet you could hit the fire house from the accident scene....took them 15 minutes to come. I asked them and they told me its because the call gets routed through so many different departments before it gets to them. And sure enough a few year later i was on the receiving end of that.
Everyone of my experiences was within tampa city limits. Actually all in very busy areas to, but traffic was never a issue at the times they happend.
