I have a question about neighbors and the fire department

So for about a month now anywhere from 3-5x a week a fire truck comes barrelling down our street and stops at the same house. Lights on, no sirens. The crew gets out and goes inside, then they leave about 15 minutes later. Always at night anywhere from 9pm to 3-4am. Yesterday they came out twice. That made 6 this week alone.
I know I could ask them, or my neighbor but it's more fun to speculate. Plus it's kind of aggravating at 3 am being woken up by a firetruck.
What are possible reasons for this?
trigger happy on the life alert?
would they show up like that to just help move someone who can't on their own?
gang bang?

are you neighbors older?
if so, they are probably helping them move or some other relatively simple task

They're running a train on someone

Most likely helpin with a fall or life alert, although you would typically see an ambulance with that too unless FD has a medic on the truck
Is this neighbor elderly?

almost all firemen are EMS trained nowadays

Yes she is elderly.
But shite, 6x a week?

Yeah this would happen with my grandfather towards the end. He would call for rando reasons and they have to go just in case. Fire department gives the elderly a lock of slack.

my dad was a fireman, and he would always complain when he worked a specific station about these types of calls because it was nothing but old people in the area
he always said he would rather work in the ghetto areas because at least he knew the calls would be different and not just helping an old person get out of the bathtub

If I had to guess I would say it's a lifting assistance call but if it is occurring that frequently then it is probably time to look into some type of assisted living.

They want to buy your house.

Most likely she has a life alert button. Believe me, that truck and crew are just as irritated about going to the house as much as you are.

"No sirens"

Could be a frequent flyer, if they call we have to go. Usually calls like that are elderly people who just need help getting back in bed or in their chair. They often have no one else to help and they are sometimes embarrassed and are constantly apologizing. I'll go to those calls all day as opppsed to the morons who call at 3 in the morning because their stomach hurts and they tell you they've been feeling bad for 3 days now.

Don't get involved. If you do, they will start calling you instead of the fire dept to get their wrinkly arse out of the bathtub.
