When I am driving, what am I supposed to do when a firetruck (or other emergency vehicle) is approaching with lights/sirens on?
A3. If a firetruck is behind your vehicle with their lights/sirens on you should pull your vehicle to the right side of the road and stop. If you can’t get your vehicle to the right side of the road (due to other traffic, etc…) STOP and remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes your location. Many times precious seconds are spent trying to maneuver a large firetruck through unyielding traffic.
