Around here all the firefighters and EMT's wear headphones while driving.
This applies to the firetrucks (enclosed cab) and E350 based aid-cars.
Why?

I know some have commo in them so they can all communicate with each other. with the sirens on sometimes you cant hear crap. but I am not a firefighter. I was a medic we had radios

Over time the noise of the siren + motor makes us deaf. NFPA recommends those headsets so you can talk to each other in the rig AND so you don't go deaf. (As fast)

Comms, like in a helicopter.

So we can talk and hear each other / radio in the cab. Especially for the #3 and #4 guys (who ride in the back) so they know whats going on.
