It's the Captain's discretion, but my understanding and belief is that in such a situation, an announcement to passengers is warranted in such a situation, if only to the effect of "You may see emergency equipment meeting our aircraft upon landing. No need to worry - they are there out of an abundance of caution" rather than leaving passengers wonder why fire trucks with their emergency lights on are pacing the aircraft on the adjacent taxiway.
