A person could witness a few fists fights around the area of the Fredericton Emergency Shelter but what do you expect when you have a group of people stationed in the same area 24 hours per day?
This is their area and that’s the way it is.
The joke is that the Police will only be call if someone gets killed?
After volunteering my shift at the Soup Kitchen tonight? I left and noticed three police cars outside.
One guy face was full of blood. It wasn’t a pretty sight and I had the sense not to take any pictures.
My point in this blog is this.
Yes, we need the police!!! 
Yes, we need the Ambulance.
BUT A FIRE TRUCK??? This was 15 minutes after I leaft the area.
They always bring the fire truck with the emergency response. The question is -Why?? Couldn’t some police officer call in 911 and say we don’t need a fire truck. What a waste of taxpayer’s money!!!!

Oh my, was Maurice hurt?
The fire truck comes to emergency situations because they're trained in first aid. often they can get to an emergnency faster as they may already be in the area or the ambulance may be in a different area. Why they would come 15 minutes later is beyond me however.
The fire truck I beleive you are speaking is a rescue squad or paramedic unit that is supposed to respond to the scene and usually does before the ambulance gets there. the paramedics or, rescue squad determines the severity of the situation and whether or not an ambulance is needed.
We respond to calls in the firetruck in case the paramedics need help moving the patient, or if they require help with on-scene treatment. We are all trained paramedics and this does help if we arrive on-scene before the ambulance.
If the patient was injured enough the police may not have thought to call off the firetruck, so they responded anyway.
