Why does a fire engine respond if I call for an ambulance?

The Bartlett Fire Protection District's front line fire engines and ladder trucks are Advanced Life Support licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. There are at least two licensed paramedics on these vehicles to start initiating care if they should arrive before the ambulance. The crews also assist the paramedics with lifting patients and assisting with medical care to ensure you are given the best treatment possible.
