Faster Fire Response Times Across Town in Fremont, Calif.

As the fourth largest city in the Bay Area and home to major companies like Tesla, Fremont has grown rapidly over the last five decades. Initially five separate cities joined as one; Fremont’s envious location in the Bay Area makes it ground zero for population growth. But with that growth came lots of traffic congestion.

The Fremont Fire Department has 11 fire stations spread across the city. But with such a large geographical area to cover, some units have to head across town for calls, leading to longer response times.
