Why does a Fire Truck show up when you call for an ambulance?
The fire Department runs the First Responder Program. It only makes sense that if a Fire Apparatus can be there in 3.6 minutes, and an ambulance may take 6 to 10 minutes, the patient has a better chance of survival if the Fire Department responds. Fire Department response is limited to life threatening situations only.
