I didn't say they did.

Clearly there will likeley be someone else there. It was reasonable to
assume you were referring to other emergency service personel.


Someone stupid said it,


Yes, you.

Nowhere did I say a paramedic or even emergency services.
However most helicopter landings anywhere near here need the
police/highways to stop the traffic on the motorway.

the same is true for most population centres.


No motorways through our village, yet I know of at least three visits
by the air ambulance. Once landed in the middle of the T-junction at
the end of our road, serious piloting and it made a fantastic leaf
blower, once on the school playing field, the other I don't know.
