When an emergency vehicle (fire truck or firefighter in a personal vehicle) is approaching that is displaying emergency lights/sirens, what should I do?
Please PULL TO THE RIGHT AND STOP at the nearest safe* location that will allow the emergency vehicle to pass you. This will allow the emergency vehicle adequate room to get around you using visibly clear passing lanes to safely and quickly continue its response. *Don’t stop on a blind curve or hill where the fire vehicle cannot see oncoming traffic. Just proceed to the next safe place to stop and allow the vehicle to pass you.
