There are many reasons why Fire Depts respond with ambulances. The main 
reason has already been stated.  Another reason is for lifting assistance. 
If someone is obese it is harder to load them. If fire is there they can 
help us load. Also on the man power thing, Since all EMS units are 2 
personel to a truck unless you have a EMT student riding along. Also all 
ambulances in the State of TN. must have a minimum of 1 EMT & 1 Paramedic to 
maintain their A class rating. The only ambulances that run with less, 
meaning no paramedic or have 1 driver & 1 emt are the trucks you see that do 
nothing but nursing home runs and doctor appointments. I am a paramedic and 
so many times we have had a long response time, we pullup and are extremely 
to see fire dept personel already on the scene. It makes our job easier and 
gives us extra help. Many times , especially with heart attack victims it is 
nice to have an extra help with CPR.
