I was wondering what does Hatzolah do when they respond to a call on Shabbos and it turns out that the injured is not Jewish.
Do they continue to be Mechalel Shabbos; do they turn around and go home; do they administer a minimum service?As far as I know in Flatbush they would treat the patient
Hatzalah continues to render service in most places. משום איבה and they would be shut down if they didn’t contribute care. That behind said if they are able to safely care with shinuim they would do that. But that if true even with a Yid. In our city Hatzalah had a psak that they can’t cancel units or give hints on the radio in these cases.
As an aside it is not being “mechalel” Shabbos to go on a Hatzalah bank it is doing Melacha on Shabbos.
There is an esteemed yeshivishe posek, who supports calling Hatzolah when there is a car crash on shabbos.
How would Hatzolah know if the person is jewish or not? I never heard them asking during a call.
