Yeah, if this is the US, it's not like you get to choose the response as the caller/complainant. PSAPs are generally police-oriented, with Fire/EMS as separate and secondary call screeners. It varies by PSAP. Some are even private contractors. Regardless, if someone calls 911 and there's an iota of suspicion about risk to responders, the police are going to engage first.
