Most likely a drunk or drugged driver or  just someone without insurance, it show's how driving under the  influence can cause you to screw up, I mean don't get me wrong, I know  accidents happen and sometimes emergency vehicles are involved in  traffic accidents but rarely are they involved in a hit and run accident  and even that much rarely are they hit in the middle of the night  during the "witching" hour but when the unthinkable happens and someone  is involved in an traffic accident with a firetruck, ambulance or police  vehicle they never take off running so that pretty much tells me who  ever was involved in this hit and run had to be drinking. 
I  imagine the driver in this case will most likely be caught for two  reasons, however, the first is that many first responder vehicles have  dashboard or better camera's and second any bystanders are probably  remember more details about an accident involving a fire truck. The  thing that sucks is that unless the person is caught and for some odd  reason is still under the influence of something or using some drug that  has a short half life and can still be detected in the blood or urine  to the point it could determine that the driver was under the influence  during the accident the person will probably only be charged with hit  and run.
Come on people I just wish we would for once, as a  human race remember so much we do in our lives effect others whether in  the positive or negative (so often in the negative) and in the process  effect us personally the same way and it is a shame that even those  people who risk their lives to protect ours on a daily basis aren't safe  from those idiots who refuse to drive sober!!
