Fire engines respond with ambulances to provide assistance at the emergency scene. At times, additional personnel are required to perform life-sustaining procedures or to move patients to the ambulance for further treatment. Since an Engine Company is staffed by at least one Firefighter/Paramedic and one Lieutenant/Paramedic, both units respond.
