| Responding to An Emergency When an emergency call is dispatched, fire fighters receive the call on their pagers. They receive a brief description of the emergency. They then respond to the fire station in their personal vehicles. From there they bring the fire and rescue apparatus to the location of the emergency. Any additional equipment that can not fit on the apparatus is stored at the fire house. This equipment can be brought to the fire, accident or medical scene in a support vehicle or a fire fighter's personal vehicle. Fire department members who provide medical first response service respond with Rescue 1 and their own personal vehicles.
