Explanation
When an emergency vehicle with flashing lights is approaching from ahead or behind, you must immediately pull over to the curb or the side of the road and stop to allow it to pass. This rule applies even if you can only hear the siren but don't yet see the vehicle. Remain stopped until the emergency vehicle has passed, unless a police officer or firefighter directs you otherwise. Always yield the right-of-way to emergency vehicles such as police cars, fire engines, and ambulances.
