Most well managed emergency response agencies will manage the average response time within their area of responsibility. The goal is to save lives. This issue is lost when towns are contracting with cities, districts or non-profits for their emergency services. The main criteria becomes cost. Understanding that towns may lack good policy development processes, the emergency response agency considering the contract should evaluate their response time and only take what they can responsibly serve. Again, financially motivated agencies will take whatever the town is willing to give them.
The little bit of extra money isn't worth the potential loss of life. These scenes play out across Wisconsin regularly and I assume the only answer is for Town residents to realize that their lives are being toyed with for a couple extra cents of tax savings.
