Le délai d'intervention du service d'incendie peut aller jusqu'à 10 minutes, et l'embrasement général peut se produire dans un délai de 11 minutes. Les données statistiques nationales montrent que l'embrasement général peut se produire dans un délai de 5 à 20 minutes, et même dans un délai aussi court que 3 minutes. Le délai d'intervention des sapeurs pompiers est fonction de divers facteurs, par exemple des situations d'urgence touchant toute une ville, des embouteillages, de mauvaises conditions atmosphériques comme la glace, la neige, la pluie, les vents violents et le temps très froid. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9lai%20d%27intervention%20du%20service%20d%27incendie
