Why does a fire truck show up when I call for a medical emergency?

Titusville Fire Department is an Advanced Life Support (ALS) First Responder agency and each of its fire stations maintains licensed Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians. By setting up our fire engines to handle all types of calls, including medical emergencies, we typically arrive on the scene faster than an ambulance because of strategically placed fire stations, but can also provide required advanced emergency medical care.
