English language (monolingual) [Non-PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / building safety
English term or phrase: call out time
"In addition to assessing the likelihood and impact of the above (= 160 words, a list of factors to be considered when selecting a location for a new art museum/gallery building), an assessment shall be made of the accessibility of the site to emergency services at all times. The accessibility to the site includes the likely call out time of fire and other emergency services."

I can't understand the "call OUT time".
