So dont try and compare this with Germany.

Ich bin Deutsch! In deutscland dauert das wirklich hochstens 8 min..

Also look at this for all who are interested in Dubai's fire and rescue,

Type in: Dubai Emergency Vehicles ,first hit.

The fire service in Dubai is still in the build-up phase.

I think bthey have very few fire stations, wich explains the long time it takes for them to come.

The head of the fire service is a german guy from Bremen, who is trying to increas the overall safety!

Theres a german documentary somewhere in youtube.

@kairoth spätestens in 7 minuten sind die vor ort aber hier vergehen ja schon fast 8 minuten und als das video begonnen hat hats schon häftig gebrand.

[DocSnyders]

@kairoth In which city? Response times in Germany are different in each city or region, I dont't know any city with a response time of about 3 minutes ...

Typical response times ("Hilfsfristen") are about 5-8 minutes.

[mohjan85]

@ all please stop talking about response time or anything else if you don´t know anything about the circumstances, ok? Nobody of you knows which a call arrives at the controll point, or how far the next firestation is away. And if you listen to the sounds you can hear how you the sirenes are are there, bad traffic somebody knows bad traffic??. To the person who wrote about the german repsonse times, 3min.?? everywhere?? check it again.

So, maybe now some of you stop talking such shit.
