Fire Trucks
Why do fire trucks always accompany EMT ambulances?
Whenever a fire dept. EMT ambulance goes out on an emergency call, a fire truck goes too. What for? I read that 80% of fire truck trips are for medical emergencies, and only 20% for fires. What do the firefighters do on these medical trips? Stand around and watch? Isn't it a waste of time & money to send a fire truck along with the ambulance when someone has a medical emergency?
most fire departments these days employ only paramedic firefighters...so everyone does anything. i think its more of a liability thing....like if they send the ambulance for someone having a heart attack and they can't get the dude out of the tub, they need the other people there and more equipment to help. If they didn't bring all this to begin with then they would have to call for backup and waste more time. i think they just hang around cause its more interesting than back at the station, however sometimes you do see the fire engine leave soon after getting there.
