Realistically speaking, almost every fire department in the U.S. provides medical services to their communities. Many of which do not have ambulances of their own. I believe that you should be allowed to add medical equipment storage to all fire stations regardless of if they have the ambulance extension or not. But, the treatment they can give with the medical equipment is BLS, so if there is a patient who needs ALS care, the bar on the patient will stay up about 60% and an ALS ambulance will need to be there in order to bring the bar fully down and ready for transport.
