Two volunteer paramedics 'seeking only to do good' at the scene of accidents must be prosecuted for using sirens and flashing lights, the High Court has ordered - 'with regret'. Judges upheld an appeal by the Director of Public Prosecutions against a refusal by Bury magistrates to convict Michael Issler and Mordechai Bamberger for using 'blues-and-twos'. The warning sirens and lights - used by police, paramedics and firefighters - helped the pair get to the scenes of accidents quicker than ambulances to give vital first aid. 'Blues-and-twos': The flashing blue light of a police car, like the ones used by Michael Issler and Mordechai Bamberger as they carried out their duties as medical volunteers for Salford's Hatzola service

Bury Magistrates had refused to convict Michael Issler and Mordechai Bamberger for using police-style flashing lights and sirens
@highlight
The pair had been working as volunteers for Salford's Hatzolah, a emergency medical service for the area's Jewish community
@highlight
But the High Court rules that the law did not provide an exemption for 'first-responder' type volunteer medical organistations
Its aim is to provide emergency first-aid cover in defined areas, in this case @placeholder and parts of Bury, primarily but not exclusively for the Jewish community.
