My wife was in a parking garage fire, who is responsible for medical?

Question

My wife is coughing very much. She was on the third level of a parking garage and did not realize there was a fire until she was breathing a lot of smoke. She went down the three levels and the firemen called an ambulance but she told them she has no insurance.  They told her the fumes are toxic and to call 911 if she continued coughing. 
 I will see to it that she gets to our doctor.  We are struggling with medical bills already though so, if ethically and legally, someone is responsible that would be nice.  Not seeking anything more than to get checked out.  I am worried about her coughing but it has only been several hours.

Who was responsible for the fire? Faulty wiring or something like that then sue the garage owner. If it was a vehicle on fire you will sue the owner of the vehicle and their insurance company. Start with the garage company because they will know the responsible party.

Edit: then get with the garage company, as they are going be suing the car owners insurance co. for damage to their parking garage.

you didn't say what caused the fire. if it was a vehicle fire the garage isn't responsible. if the fire was caused by negligence of the garage then they would be responsible. i wouldn't panic yet, like you said it's only been a couple hours, i'm sure she'll be ok.

Sue the parking company

Since SHE is getting the medical care and has no insurance, SHE is.

DUH.

Now if she wishes to attempt to sue someone else to get reimbursed for that expense......
