While I certainly agree with your overall point, I'd guess that firefighters have someone who's job it is to start the engine/truck while their fellows are donning their gear.

Let’s be honest though; Push-to-start exists. There is zero reason they can afford all their SWAT bullshit and can’t afford to make a car that auto starts when whoever is carrying the fob gets in.

Also, fire trucks don't have a key to start. You set one knob to on and twist the starter knob.
