That could be a Doctor's Car. Sometimes Doctor's have their own cars which are rigged out with permission go have blues and a siren, so in emergency they can leave home or work and go to the emergency with their own vehicle. There is a guy on KZbin who films himself responding to emergencies showing to does and don'ts of being both someone responding to a blue light vehicle and being a blue light driver. His videos are rather slef reflective and helpful to others.

[@bleh284]

Now I’m imagining the one person needing hospital treatment having the entire ambulance service on them

[@REDARROW_A_Personal]

Does happen I have seen 3 Ambulances (one car two vans) for someone having a heart attack. It's more of a case who can get there sooner. If they get two at the same time till they think they are clear the other can't leave. It's likely the car was there first, but they called for the patient to be taken in and two showed up at the same time, because its a case of if two are at similar distances then one may get there sooner, but if both arrive then one crew needs to be cleared to leave.

[@angushuddy4600]

​@@REDARROW_A_Personalthey always send 2 ambulances to cardiac arrests. They recon after doing 2 minutes of chest compressions a person is less effective so they aim to have 2 crews of 2, one on the airway, one keeping record and two to swap out on chest compressions. I imagine the car is either just first on scene or a local manager.

[@litegem9041]

They most likely didnt know for sure how many were injured and if it really is "large" it would be very dangerous so good to have lots of medical staff

[@samtorr3947]

@@litegem9041 It's probably more to do with sending a large number of people into a dangerous situation. It's better to have 10 crews twiddling their thumbs and 1 injury than 1 crew desperatley tring to tend to a whole fire crew who just got chemical burns.

[@robcrossland8439]

Unlikely to be private fire engines in those bays- I have worked in places that had permanently marked locations for fire/ambulance vehicles to park in the event of an emergency. Marking it as 'FIRE' or 'AMBULANCE' means people think twice before using it as a dumping ground or parking space.
