Or if your very rural the fire response is about 1 hour if they are sober.
I was in high school and just after we went to bed one night we had a knock at the door, a neighbors son had ran the mile down the snow covered roat in bare feet to use the phone because their house was on fire. It was an hour later when the fire trucks came by. Its about a half hour drive to town normally, longer if the weather is bad then all the volunteers had to get from their homes to the station so that took some time.
They were lucky the phone actually worked, its dead more often than not in bad weather.
