Shoreline Fire and EMS Turnout Times
This data set gives turnout response times for Fire and EMS (Emergency Medical Services) dispatch calls to the Shoreline, WA, Fire Department in 2006. The turnout time refers to time elapsed between the emergency call dispatch and the crew leaving the fire station, or signaling that they are on their way while being on route already. The latter scenario may explain the bimodal distribution character.
data(ShorelineFireEMS)
A list of two sublists $EMSTOT and $FireTOT,
each with 4 vector components $ST57, $ST63, $ST64, and
$ST65 respectively, giving the turnout times (in seconds) (for EMS and Fire)
at fire stations ST57, ST63, ST64, and ST65.
These data sets are provided to illustrate usage of ad.test and qn.test
and their combined versions in testing for performance equivalence across fire stations.
Thanks to Michael Henderson and the Fire Fighters and Paramedics of the Shoreline Fire Department in Washington State.
