Why would the city/county whatever emergency services have to pick up a private entity vehicle causing traffic congestion?

How hard is it for these cities to say NO we will not service your vehicles. If they malfunction on the road, you must have an emergency response team in place to fix it or remove it.

Duh. Why wasn't that part of the original contract with the city?
