The average time for the fire department is 4 mins and 2 secs
The response time for firefighters refers to the time from when an alarm is reported to the time meaningful firefighting begins at the scene. Response times can vary from less than a minute to several hours, depending upon where the fire is and what resources are available. For example, if an automatic fire alarm is connected directly to the station, and there are firefighters at the station, they could arrive very quickly. However, if the fire is ten miles away, and the fire department is staffed by volunteers, the response time could be much longer (e.g., 20 minutes or more). Of course, if the fire is in a remote wilderness, the response time could be days, assuming anyone is even aware of the fire.
The Great Fire of London was in 1666 and there was no fire department at that time.

The fire protections classes are set and regulated by a company called ISO (Insurance Services Office). The classes are determined by an auditor coming and investigating the equipment of the local fire department, response time and results of the past fires in the area, and water pressure and fire plugs throughout the community.
If you are a person with a fast reaction time there are some careers where can be helpful in. Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Technicians or any first responder department would need someone with a fast response time.
What is the response time to a fire alarm system under the nfpa code book or life safety 101 code book.
A quick response fire sprinkler is a fire sprinkler designed to react immediately upon sensing a fire. Typically quick response fire sprinklers are heat activated, where heat from a fire melts a fusible link that allows the fire extinguishant (usually water in the case of fire sprinklers) to put out the fire quickly. Fire sprinkler systems are an important part of a building's total fire protection system, which should also include fire alarms, fire extinguishers and, where appropriate, specialized fire suppression systems.

No. It is a measure of time between stimulus and response. While muscle memory and experience can improve performance, nothing will increase your base reaction time.
It all depends on the situation. If it involves a fire the F. D. has the authority, If it involves national security the Military had authority. But they usually work together when the necessity arrives. Interestingly enough the military has fire departments within the military. During the Vietnam war I served in the US Air Force Fire department as a rescue fireman. I was a fireman and an Airmen at the same time. We had both Military rank (I was a Sargent) and Fire Department Rank ( I was a Station Chief) at the same time.
In most large cites over 10,000 people they require their fire fighters to be EMT
