Every fire engine has 4 firefighters and three of them are emergency medical technicians and one is a paramedic. This means that the fire truck responding to a medical emergency can expedite early interventions by pre-hospital emergency medical providers and therefore, assist in the mitigation of the emergency. Simply stated, the only limitation the fire engine has is that it can’t transport the patient.
