Thanx for the 1st part, what I meant about the EMS runs was, what determines what company goes on it (in a double house) does the Engine go the first Ambu Assist, then Truck will take next one, then Engine on one after that (rotate between the 1st due Co's if both available) or does one Company have it for the month on rotation, etc- just trying to figure it out from listening...
On my job, similiar to NYC, the Engines do the 1st responder runs- NO Trucks (as I think it should be, my opinion)unless a Truck "stumbles" apon one.

That depends on the medical emergency, as some companies are designated ALS rigs with firefighter-paramedics aboard, while the rest are just BLS apparatus.
