Ambulances live a hard life. Around here they idle A LOT, especially in the winter.
If properly equipped they should have a fast idle setting. Where I work we only idle if we need emergency lights running or if it's extremely hot or cold out. Otherwise we shut them down whenever parked off-street. Same thing with the big trucks, no need to keep them running if you don't have to. Some of our newer ones have the ability to run emergency lighting off of an on board generator, so they only need to run the main motor if pumping.
