They are not equipped for firefighting, they are only used for when and if the shuttle catches fire or explodes and is there for the crew to escape in. KSC has 2, one is stationed close to the shuttle during launch with 6-8 firefighters in ARFF gear and SCBA, and then another farther back to assist with rescue. Each shuttle crewmember is actually trained in driving the M113 as it is part of flight preparations.

Wonder why they didn't use one or more of them.
