I wonder if they have smaller trucks they can send out, smaller trucks might be more agile and a lot more economical.

it’s quite normal to send an engine with an ambulance on a medical call. It provides extra manpower to transfer a patient. Also it’s common that an engine is available when an ambulance isn’t. All engines in The Villages have Paramedics. They can start treating a patient and wait for the ambulance if transport is required. This is standard procedure across much of the country.
