Explanation
On a two-lane street, if a fire engine is not using emergency signals, it is simply driving like any other vehicle. Therefore, there is no need to pull over or yield to the fire engine. However, if the fire engine is using emergency signals such as sirens or flashing lights, you must pull over to the right edge of the road or as near to the right as possible and stop, to yield the right-of-way to the emergency vehicle.
