They started going to EMS calls because they can respond quicker

Exactly what I said in OP.

What's quicker, a 2 man crew in an ambulance...or a 10 man crew on a yacht?

Oh you were 5 mins late to a house fire or 5 mins delayed to someone bleeding out/heart attack/stroke/ etc.

The common large engine fire house needs to be rethunk.

Correct

We have an EMS / Fire Station around the corner from my office.
Twice we have had to call 911 for medical emergencies.
Both times the fire dept was there well before EMS, the 2nd time the fire dept pulled up as I was hanging up with the 911 operator.
