Speaking of age...

So you would discriminate due to age?

I would say rules should be in place for safety. We work in a dangerous profession, why not take a few risks out of the picture.

Yep, and he's not the only one.

Whenever possible, emergency vehicle drivers should ordinarily be between the ages of 25 and 70. All vehicle crash data clearly shows a significantly increased risk for those drivers under the age of 25 with a graduating risk for drivers beginning at age 65. Emergency vehicle crash data show the same results including four out of the five last fatal crashes involved drivers under the age of 25. Because of the nature of emergency services, some EMS organizations may have limited options with regard to driver age. Whenever possible, emergency vehicle operations should ordinarily be completed by those within the 25-70 age bracket.

It's all about safety.

Why not, car rental companies already do it. The only difference is that there isn't an AARP for young people.
