Yesterday, a woman fell down on steps leading out of a church in
Fayetteville.  Someone called an ambulance.

But a fire truck arrived, followed by the ambulance.  It didn't
look like the lady was going to spontaneously ignite, despite
the heat, so I asked why a fire truck was called.  The answer
that I was given was that they always call a fire truck in
addition to the ambulance in these cases now, because the
firemen are trained "first responder" paramedics.

So, I guess the ambulance personnel aren't?

Trying to understand the "All the King's horses" methodology...
