The safest I ever felt was when I lived across the street from the local Fire Department. If I ever had a fire (I never did while I lived there) I could have ran across the street and screamed and pointed at my place in under the time it would take to make a 911 call.
Just that your whole plan would collapse if they're voluntary and therefore chilling at home/work/whatever, until an official 911 call is made, exactly as in my case.
I was in the middle of a city with a fully staffed and non-volunteer set of firefighters with four full size fire trucks and about eight other smaller vehicles for firefighting. It was staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
But yes, you're correct, would be a bad plan if I lived out in the boonies.
