There's a whole list of call types that don't get a lights and siren response. You might just be living in an area that's near a major thoroughfare for the fire department. Also the busiest stations in Providence go to more calls than the busy stations in Boston. Engine 3 downtown is the busiest in the northeast.

You have people who have begrudgingly followed the rules at shelters in the past but are now going to the armory because they don't want to follow the rules and they can get away with being drunk and high at the armory. The city doesn't really have a say, this is a state run facility, with people coming from all over the state. The tent camp in Woonsocket that was cleared out last week they sent them all down to Providence to stay here, but it is burdening the city with numerous Fire/EMS/Police responses to the armory every day.
