Hi

Simple question (which I presume has been previously discussed) :

Why the different key tags to describe what are essentially synonymous entities?

One of them takes care to put out fires, the other transports you to hospital. There are regions where the two are mostly combined, but in other places these are completly separate organizations.

E.g. in Germany they are mostly combined in the larger cities, but usually separated in smaller towns. That's related to having professional fire fighters and stations that are always manned compared to volunteers who have to gather first.
