Firefighters and their big red pumper firetruck were the only responders to a medical call on our street a few days ago. If there is no requirement that an ambulance transport, this is how it works in Florida, the firefighters are cross trained as paramedics.

I was there, one of the firefighters, the paramedic trained firefighter guy, checked the person out, she had fallen, no real problem, attended to the gash on her foot ... and left.

So it's pretty standard in nonemergency medical assistance calls.

Forget the Escalade stuff, I want to see a white Bronco, dang it.
