As Buff97 said a Rescue is assigned on 10-75s when available.
Although many people are under the impression that a "10-75" signalfies a structure fire, in reality is notification of a fire or emergency and is a request for a predefined set of resources which includes a Rescue and a Squad when available.
10-75 NOTIFICATION OF A FIRE OR EMERGENCY
A notification signal transmitted when, in the judgment
of the officer in command, conditions indicate a fire or
emergency that requires a total response of the following
units: 4 Engines, 2 Ladders, 2 Battalion Chiefs, 1
Rescue Company and Squad Company. Officers transmitting
a 10-75 shall also state if it is for a fire or emergency
and if a building is involved along with the type of
building.

Correct , I've seen multiple officers or chiefs transmit 10-75's for multiple emergencies , Car Accidents , Fires , Hazmat Situations , Like that flipped over Tractor Trailer last week that went from A 10-75 to an All Hands than a second alarm.Florian Knight said:

and if i may add, they also respond if it's in their 1st due area, also the squad company
The transmittion of a 10-75(Working Fire) equals a total of 4 Engines, 3 Ladders(1 for F.A.S.T.), 2 Battalion Chiefs, 1 Division Chief, 1 Rescue, 1 Squad, and usually 1 R.A.C. Unit on the scene of a fire.
Usually, there are 3 Engines, 2 Ladders, and a Battalion Chief on a Box. When the 10-75 is transmitted, an additional Engine, an additional Ladder(F.A.S.T.), and an additional Battalion Chief are added to the initial assignment, with the further additions of a Division Chief, a Rescue, and a Squad.
Rescues and Squads respond on all 10-75's, if available.
Also, if a Squad is 1st due to a Box, and is already assigned, another Squad will be assigned on the Box. For example, if Squad 18 is first due to a fire, and the 10-75 is transmitted, Squad 1 out of Brooklyn will be the 10-75 Squad. However, with Rescues, if a Rescue is already on the Box, I don't believe an additional Rescue is on the 10-75, but again, I'm not certain.
