hmmm.. response time discrepancies were a matter of seconds, not minutes....

sounds like a consultant looking for a job... or politicos trying to make hay....

I saw this story elsewhere, and I think that it's a ligitimate gripe.

They were having trouble meeting their mandatory response times, but suddenly from out of the blue they were meeting them with little trouble.

Then they had manpower cuts and the numbers showed that their response times had fallen increased drastically. Numbers that they used to make the argument that they needed all of their staffing back.

After review it was discovered that they had lied on their fully manned response times, nudging them downward to show compliance.

Also, where they are talking about seconds, is that after review they found that the difference in their response times after manpower cuts was miniscule. That there was virtually no difference at all.

The bottom line is, for me anyway, that the LAFD had been caught lying over and over, blatantly.

Standard Fire nonsense.

That is a pretty crazy place, if I know where you're talking about...up on the 101?

Chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos, then....nothing.
