Thanks to groundbreaking fire station communications technology powered by Phoenix, Ariz.-based US Digital Designs (stationalerting.com), critical seconds have been shaved off fire and medical response times in Cedar Park, Tex., and vicinity. In fact, Cedar Park's new Phoenix G2 Station Alerting System-manufactured by USDD-is already helping the community achieve its ambitious goal of averaging eight minutes for a fire call and six minutes for a medical call in this calendar year.
