I volunteer for a fire department as a FF/EMT-I. Obviously, working on a fire engine and entering burning buildings is non-clinical. But about 95% of my calls are on an ambulance where I am typically the only advanced life support provider paired with a regular EMT. So would it be fair to call my volunteering 'clinical'? Can I put down separate hours on the app (FF vs. EMT-I)?

You might consider splitting the experience into two spaces so you can adequately represent them. If that's not possible, you can call it clinical (considering the high percentage of the time for that role) but then state the % time related to fire calls only. Personally, I think each deserves to be highlighted, though.
 
I'd split it since it's not all clinical and explain both of them like the poster above said.
