When an emergency vehicle approaches using a siren, lights or other warning devices, you must:

Come to a complete stop as soon as you can see the emergency vehicle in your rearview mirror.
Move to the right side of the road and stop until the vehicle has passed.
Reduce your speed and drive with caution.
Drive to the nearest intersection and stop.
Explanation

In the event of an emergency, authorized emergency vehicles such as fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars may need to quickly and safely reach their destination. To ensure that they can do so, other drivers must yield the right-of-way and safely move out of the way. This means that when you hear or see an emergency vehicle approaching with sirens, lights or other warning devices, you must immediately move to the right side of the road and stop. You should wait until the emergency vehicle has passed before continuing on your way.
