why does 9-1-1 ask if you need an ambulance if they plan on sending an ambulance regardless?

Question

A fire alarm went off, the operator asked if we needed an ambulance and we said no but they showed up anyways asking if we needed medical assistance. What’s the point of asking?

Answer 1

Because when an emergency call is attended, policemen are probably sent to the location.

And as they’re poorly trained, highly afraid of every other human being or outright evil the probability of someone being hurt, shot or killed by them is very high.

So the probability of the ambulance being needed is also very high.

And that is the main reason an ambulance is dispatched on every 911 call.
