The reason why a fire truck comes out to every 911 call for medical help is that sometimes more help is needed on scene . This is also part of the accredition plan that each department has. You can never forsee what is going to happen on a scene...you might need more personnel to help carrry the patient to the truck, need more help on scene as the paramedics are tending to the patient(s).....just use your imagination and there are a lot of scenarios. Hope this helps answer your question.
