Fewer prosecutions should be brought against police, fire brigade and ambulance staff who commit driving offences while responding to emergencies

I'm not sure if it's an accident when an offence has been committed. There's rules that Emergency services need to adhere to. If they flout these rules and people get injured/die, then prosecution is in order in my opinion.
