fire trucks are always first reponders to medical emergencies as they're usually closer to the incident the an ambulance which likely has to travel from the nearest hospital unless they're already out and about..

At ATL, specifically, there are several stations around the field & ambulances are on site at all times. For a non-emergency transport situation an ambulance may be called in from a local hospital to keep on-site resources available for another emergency.
