A fire truck is not set up to transport patients and my fire company is not insured to do so.

Oooh, didn't think about that point! Had the child died in the fire truck en route, that would have been a nasty lawsuit.

Not knowing the exact situation generally a seizure is not a life threat. Young children have febrile seizures when they run a temperature which you treat with cold packs and keep the airway open. Scary yes, fatal, no.

In PA where I live you have to be an EMT to give a patient O2 so they may be in trouble for that also. This is not a problem with the fire department, it’s a problem with the regional EMS council. It’s called practicing medicine without a license.
