Why do fire trucks respond to motor vehicle accidents?
Two reasons. First, automobile accidents present other hazards such as potential fire, ruptured fuel tanks, and/or the presence of hazardous materials. Second, firefighters are trained Emergency Medical Technicians. Therefore they can assist our ambulance provider (EMSA) with patient care or assist in extricating (removing) trapped occupants of the vehicle.
