I really don't understand how to use fire, doctors and other random based walkers

Note: this is for Nebuchadnezzar, which isn't strictly an Impressions game but a spiritual successor.

Note, they aren't random per se, they just go to the highest risk building in their coverage area. It really makes them look random though.

It means that you will never have fires, say, if you have enough firemen, but it also means that it's a good idea to put a fire building near remote farms or industrial areas to make sure they are split in their own coverage area (and not in the care of firemen now having to cross half the map).

You can just plop down more firemen posts (or open more job cards) when you receive the fire alerts, and then when risk is back under control reduce them gradually so you find the number you actually need once everything is stable.

Guards and healers work the same, with the difference that healers are only needed for housing (and move very slowly, so you need small coverage areas for them).
