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?

Maybe it was a real alarm, with a real fire, and people could have been injured. It’s better they arrived *before* being needed.

The individual calling doesn’t always have all of the information, or a grasp of what services are or aren’t needed.
