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 average police response time varies depending on the location and type of incident. In general, response times can range from a few minutes to over an hour.

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.
