I pulled over for a speeding fire engine with its lights and siren on and then it turned off the lights, siren and proceeded at a regular speed. What’s going on?
First, thank you for pulling over. Sometimes when the first fire crews arrive on scene they determine that the emergency does not warrant any more fire engines or ladder trucks to respond. It could be a false alarm or that the emergency is not as life threatening as believed. They then can cancel the other vehicles over the radio. Sometimes the on-scene crew asks incoming crews to continue into the emergency, but to do so in a nonemergency fashion for motorist safety concerns. So, the lights and siren go off.
