only fire fighters and ambulance should leave there cars running. cops never hurry to anything except to shot a human being so they need to turn off there vehicles

we keep them running to keep equipment charged, air tanks that are attached to our brakes full, and medications at proper temperature

it reduces the cost of maintenance. on and off repeated times causes more wear and tear.

I understand why they leave it running but what if someone takes it for a joy ride?

unpopular opinion: you should turn the truck off. it only takes a few seconds to start the engine when it's still warm

I worked at a coffee shop as a teen. The FD stopped by to order some drinks. A customer got out of her car and said “ you cannot be serious! You should be saving lives! Do that on your days off”

Larger diesels take more to start than just to leave it idling

actually federal dollars help support fire departments. especially small town and rural communities. but the reason the equipment is left running is incase of a emergency response is required.

there was literally multiple articles and people complaining about this in my city several years ago. It's insane that people don't realize that y'all LIVE in the station for your 48's. You gotta eat lmao

I’m a trucker, and I try not to idle at all possible. A fire truck? No, they do whatever the **** *** they want imo. They ARE the first to respond to most anything 🫡 🇺🇸 👨🚒

One gallon of diesel vs the rare chance the 20 seconds of startup time will cost a life.
Please, take my money.

there was a guy that habitually harassed our firefighters when they went out for this specific thing. it even made the local news. he even tried to get laws passed banning the trucks from leaving

Our ambulance likely has over 200k miles on it. I can’t guarantee it’ll start back up if I turn it off. 😂

Was having lunch at a restaurant on shift once. A guy approached us and said we shouldn’t have an ambulance outside because “people could think there’s an emergency and panic”.
