This dataset contains AFD's Standard of Coverage (SOC) results for calendar years 2022-2023. AFD's goal is to reach the resident/incident within 8 mins (from phone pickup to first arriving unit), 90% of the time. The dataset only includes emergency incidents (priority 1-3, 4M) that fell within AFD's service area (City of Austin full purpose and contracts for service). Response time results are grouped by Response Area Polygons (RAP) --- this is a geographical boundary which often reflects the area the station/unit would be the first responding unit.
