While that particular ambulance is likely more of a joke than something that is used regularly, lifted emergency vehicles are a thing. They are mainly used in hilly areas, beachfront communities with narrow Sandy roads, or places that see excessive amounts of snowfall during the winter. Fire trucks dedicated for fighting wood or brush fires are usually lifted with enormous tires as well.
