Yep otherwise there'd be a LOT more flat batteries in the fleet as vans can be stuck at scenes for long periods of time. Just the head lights, certain LEDS in the bar light and strobes remain on once the parkbrake is applied.
There's actually 3 batteries in all the ambulances and all the smart paramedics leave the vehicle running when at prangs and so forth.

Similar with all the newer fire appliances, except the lightning turns off completely when you turn the vehicle off. A set of beacons will drain a battery VERY quickly as they do draw alot of current (the halogen globe in them alone takes about 14amps).

I concur... looking at it in hi-res it appears to be a neck brace.

Hmm but how come he would be wearing one ? surely he cant be injured otherwise he wouldnt be allowed to work ?

My understanding as well neck brace = cannot work not only that its going to limit your vision looking left and right, "sprung"
He shouldnt be wearing it simple as that and driving for a matter of that fact, love to hear the reason for that.

As MarkMyWords says.. his 2nd chance went out the window... i stuck up for him and i regret it cause he's let those who did stick up for him down by still typing like hes texting someone via sms and coming up with smart ass stuff like how he wishes there was some action north side !
