The fire chief says it took 12 minutes to respond, and another four minutes to get water on the fire.

Tuesday morning, residents took the floor at a city council meeting saying they're indebted to the area's volunteer firefighters. But they say it's time for the city to budget in a full-time force to improve response times.
