I called for an ambulance, why did I also get a fire truck?
The fire truck and ambulance work together. The strategic placement of fire stations allows the closest engine company to quickly respond when a citizen is in need. Since firefighters are medically trained, it is sensible to send them on critical calls when time is a factor and quick attention is needed.
