How many firefighters respond to a typical medical call?

When responding to a call, each engine carries a minimum of two firefighters. Since most responses are related to medical issues, we respond with one Falcon Fire apparatus and the American Medical Response (AMR) ambulance. Additionally, to minimize response time and maximize public safety, select reserve members are equipped to respond directly to medical emergencies. They carry medical supplies, oxygen, and automatic defibrillators.
