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

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?

I got it. At one point I was a silly little green emt. A regular fire comes out and they send us to sit and wait for them to put the wet on the hot so we can leave. Family was said to be fine. We check them out and soot is all over their face and in their nose and throat. Little did I know that’s grounds for immediate transport. So I get in the front and we wee woo all the way to the hospital. Sometimes when firefighters are doing the cool guy stuff and putting out a fire and it’s taking awhile they send us just incase something happens.
