If they want to delay EMS in order to "hone" their skills, why don't they just leave the ambulances where they were initially and have them always respond without lights and sirens to the scene? The science suggests very few calls are actually time sensitive, being restricted primarily to cardiac arrests, strokes and MI's, and at least this way in addition to fire getting to practice you get the added (and much more important) benefit of EMS crews being at reduced risk of getting into a car accident.
