They may also respond if needed for specialty equipment. WAY back in the day, when I was first a volunteer fire fighter, my little department had a cascade air fill system, and several neighbor departments did not. So if they had a big call, we might be paged out to bring the cascade system to refill air packs. I'm sure some others can give examples of specialty equipment some departments have that others don't.

Depends on if that’s the closest department or not. If so, it may respond to many calls when requested by the next district over. Multi alarm structure fires they would definetely respond. Large brush fires, they may automatically respond on the first alarm.
