Idling uses gas and contributes to that whole warming thing...but most directly severly decreases the air quality for surrounding residents. Some environmentally concious companies who own lots of diesel trucks have installed separate units so that drivers can run the a/c with the engine off. Saves gas, less complaints, cleaner air...not too shabby. As the global warming debate picks up, maybe FD will catch on and install those units...

I can't stand FD and would never consider doing business with them. They careen down my block numerous times each day, indicating that their delivery system is unefficient and obtrusive.

Calls to 311 have made me feel better, but not changed the fact that the trucks continue to make noise and exhaust on my block nightly.
