QUESTION: Why DID it take Lebanon Engine 2, NINE Minutes to Arrive at the Depot Road Accident on 5/1/15?

After reporting the times of the Depot Road Accident response on the evening of May 1st, many people have been concerned that if Engine 2 was on the radio saying they were responding at 8:09 pm, how could they have possibly taken 9 minutes to arrive on the scene at 8:18 pm??
The accident WAS right down the street on Depot Road, RIGHT?
While the "other" pages would have you believe our guys were goofing around, taking their time, and not taking the accident or traffic safety seriously, BUT when the TRUTH comes out, the facts of the "time warp" of Engine 2 are completely understandable.
You see, the accident was on Depot Road. Lebanon Rescue 2 had arrived within only 8 minute from the first tone.
So there was Rescue 2, (our ambulance), and the accident. But WHO was on the OTHER side of the accident??
WHY ENGINE 2 of course!!
Engine 2 responded they were leaving the Upper Cross Road station at 8:09 pm. Only 11 minutes after the first tone.
However, the "Incident Commander" on the scene, requested that Engine 2 make the trip down to the other end of Upper Cross Road, travel up Center Road, the length of Heath Road, and then come onto the accident scene from the OTHER side, effectively giving us emergency personnel on BOTH sides of the accident.
Because lines were down across Depot Road, and there was a telephone pole that had to be replaced, it would have been dangerous at that hour of the night to leave one end of Depot Road without apparatus blocking the street to motorists.
So, now you know the whole story.
Is 9 minutes from leaving the station at 8:09 pm to arriving on scene at 8:18 pm STILL too long of a time frame??
