RIP, a tragedy.

 

There has been a lot stolen ambulances as  of late, some with crew members and patients still inside. There needs to be a key fob or other system to immediately disable  the ambulance.

Ignition key removal boxes were available long ago, not sure if they still are or modern vehicles prevented using them.  You could leave the vehicle running without the key in it and as soon as anyone stepped on the brake it would cut out.  You have to step on the brake to overcome the park / shift interlock so it would prevent you from even getting the vehicle in gear.

They may not be available in all models.  We have that in our Medic suburban fly car, and asked if we could have that put in our Medallion Type 3 Chevy G4500 we ordered last year and are due to get end of this April/May because of the incidents happening all around the country.  The rep for PL Customs/New England Fire Equipment and Apparatus said it was not an option for that vehicle and they could not put it in.  Wish they could/would.

And to think this piece of sh#t pleaded not guilty!!!! What a joke. Just put him away for life or give him the death penalty and save us the time and money of a trial.(either way we will be paying )  So now a homeless career criminal will have a roof over his head and 3 meals a day while 5 kids are without a mom who was WORKING to save lives and support her family. Sounds like the piece of sh#t will benefit from his actions.
