It's an injury accident of some type. In a lot of cities (not sure if Champaign is like this), the EMTs are on the fire trucks. So the FIRST responder would be a fire truck. If it's a bad enough accident, then an ambulance would be dispatched, generally with paramedics (unlike EMTs, these can administer drugs). If the setup here is any indication, it's a pretty severe accident to have TWO ambulances.

On the other hand, if it's anything like here, there's a 'boys and their toys' thing that happens, where these guys want to drive the ambulances any time they can. But I think that the dispatch would actually have to tone for the second ambulance.

Just my two cents. It's handy dating an EMT :-D
