An autonomous vehicle including one or more sensors positioned on a body of the autonomous vehicle, at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions is disclosed. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to: (i) receive sensor data from the one or more sensors; (ii) determine, from the sensor data, presence of an emergency situation and absence of an emergency vehicle at a site of the emergency situation; (iii) in accordance with the determining, trigger a first responder mode of the autonomous vehicle; and (iv) initiate one or more actions to assist or protect people or a property at the site of the emergency situation.
