It works the same as with an ambulance crew. Lets say they are not responding to a call, but need a coffee/sandwich/loo break.

Then a call comes in they need to respond to.

If they have parked right outside the corner shop they just run straight to the vehicle and get moving.

If they have parked in the nearest public car park 1/2 a mile away which requires payment at a machine to let your ticket open a barrier then things aren't looking good for the poor sod having a heart attack.

"But they get allocated breaks". Yeah. And when someone has an emergency when the only available vehicle near by is on break? They get sent anyway.
