Fire Stations – Town of Kernersville

The Town of Kernersville is divided into 5 response districts. Fire stations are located strategically throughout the city in order to help us meet our goal of responding to emergencies within 4 minutes of the receipt of the alarm. This 4-minute benchmark is established because 1) that time frame is under the 6-10 minute window in which an uncontrolled fire can reach flashover condition and 2) patients in cardiac arrest have little or no chance of recovery if CPR and/or shocks from a defibrillator are not initiated within 6 minutes of their heart stopping.
