No. In most states their are laws that list the Db levels, and how high those levels can be at what time of the day. In nearly all of these laws emergency services are exempt, including; police cars; fire trucks; ambulances; fire alarms; tornado sirens; and other emergency service's that are noisy.
Various types of fire trucks, which will vary by department and what kind of environment they operate in. A more rural fire department might have trucks with internal water storage, whereas an urban fire department can rely on the availability of fire hydrants. A city fire department would be more prone to having hook-and-ladder trucks in order to reach tall buildings, whereas this wouldn't be as much of an issue for a more rural fire department. Brush trucks would be more commonplace in a rural or small town fire department, what these are will also be dependent on the fire department and what they deal with. For a fire department which might deal with vacant lot fires, but not major forest fires, it may simply be a modified 4x4 pickup, whereas other departments may use demilitarised tactical trucks and tracked vehicles. Some departments will have ambulances as their stations, since EMS is normally part of Fire and Rescue for that town, city, or county.

Fire trucks always come with ambulances because skills a fireman have might be needed that a paramedic does not. They go hand and hand because you never know when the situation might call for it. The ambulance and driver is for transport and treatment to the hospital, the fireman is for rescue or getting the person to the EMT for treatment. An ambulance EMT can't get someone out of a burning house or wrecked car. They probably could, but it is not their job and wouldn't have the equipment to do it.
