They than determine whether the ems should respond fast or slow by the extent of the injuries of the patient. Than again the first police officer on the scene could have made the call for a fast or slow response. This is done because there have been too many deaths and injuries due to all out quick response by our public safety personnel on our roads.

Most of the time The Villages EMS is on scene in 4-5 mins from receipt of call. The ambulance/medics are dispatched simultaneously and may arrive before or after the firefighter/medics. But if everyone is busy and units have to stage to cover other areas or they are all busy and have to rely on mutual aid then obviously it will take longer.
