Estimated Response Time
The radius method divides each zone's land area by its stations: Flagstaff's six career stations share about 66 square miles, an average radius of roughly 1.9 miles, and Summit's five stations share 95 square miles, about 2.5 miles each. The rest of the county (about 18,460 square miles, under 4 residents per square mile) has roughly 32 stations, a radius of about 13.5 miles, a very rough figure: most of it is forest, canyon and tribal range with few homes, and volunteers must first reach the station.
| Radius | Flagstaff (career) | Fire districts near Flagstaff | Rural county (volunteer) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1.5 mi | 4–6 min | 5–8 min | 8–12 min |
| 1.5–3 mi | 6–8 min | 7–10 min | 10–14 min |
| 3–6 mi | 8–11 min | 9–13 min | 12–18 min |
| > 6 mi | 11+ min | 13+ min | 18+ min |
Typical expectation: about 6–8 minutes in Flagstaff, 7–10 minutes in the Summit district, 10–14 minutes in a forest community with its own station and 18 minutes or more in remote areas.
Estimated Fire Control Time
| Fire size | Example | Indicative time |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Grass patch, dumpster, small vehicle | 5–20 min |
| Medium | Room-and-contents, car fully involved | 15–45 min |
| Large | Whole house, commercial unit | 45–120 min |
| Major | Multi-alarm, industrial, large forest fire | 2–12+ hours |
