Why does a fire truck come when I call for an ambulance?
All of Boca Raton Fire Rescue Services vehicles - engine and ladder trucks - are ALS (Advanced Life Support) vehicles. Which means if a call for medical assistance comes in and the ambulance/rescue trucks are busy with other calls or farther away, a fire engine or truck maybe dispatched to respond. Plus, all Boca Raton Fire Rescue firefighters are also paramedics, to help keep our community safe.
