Aus der überwiegend abgeschiedenen Lage der Umspannwerke ist auch bei frühzeitigem Bekanntwerden eines Einbruchs-/Sabotage-Ereignisses durch Objektschutzmeldungen die Herbeiholung von Einsatzkräften (Polizei, Feuerwehr), und Betriebspersonal) wegen weiter Anfahrwege teilweise sehr zeitaufwendig.

obtaining emergency services
I think that's what's meant here..
Example from link below:
"We are NOT an emergency room but we CAN assist students in obtaining emergency services."

As I indicated in the discussion, translating a larger segment rather than an isolated term will help determine what type of solution works best:
"There could be extended delays/wait times for emergency services (police, fire department) and service crews due to long travel distances/ Due to long travel distances, there.."
"Obtaining emergency services (...) could be time-consuming (at times) due to long travel distances"
These examples work pretty well unless I apply one tiny alteration:
"There could be extended delays/wait times for "calling out" emergency services (police, fire department) and service crews due to long travel distances."
" "Calling out" emergency services (...) could be time-consuming due to long travel distances."
