Some states allow volunteer firefighters to do a variety of things to allow them to respond to an emergency. Flashing blue lights are typical. Sirens are unusual but might be allowed in some states.

Can the Fire Chief of a volunteer fire department in Indiana run red lights to calls?

In Indiana, volunteer fire department chiefs, like other emergency responders, are allowed to run red lights when responding to emergencies, but they must do so with caution. They are required to use lights and sirens to alert other drivers of their presence. However, they must also ensure that their actions do not pose a danger to others on the road. Local regulations may vary, so it's important for the fire chief to be familiar with specific departmental policies and state laws.


What do firemen do when a fire breaks out?

When a fire is called into dispatch, it is sent out as "tones" (the page from dispatch, sometimes over a PA system in the fire station or their portable radios) to the appropriate fire station. When the firefighters get the "tones" they stop whatever they are doing and run to their apparatus (fire truck, fire engine, ambulance, etc.) where they "don" their "turn outs". Donning means to put on or wear. Turn outs is a firefighter term for the protective clothing that firefighters wear into fires. Once in their turn outs they go en route to the fire, code 1(no lights or sirens) code 2(lights no sirens) code 3(lights and sirens), the terminology here can differ from department to department. Once they arrive they begin whatever operations they were sent out to perform.


Is it legal to pass a patient transporting ambulance?

This depends on if the emergency signal lights are activated. It should be noted that even with emergency lights and sirens activated, ambulances are not allowed to exceed the speed limits. That said, if the ambulance has a patient in it, but the lights and sirens are not activated, a regular motorist can pass the vehicle but is discouraged from doing so. NO! If you pass it, other people might and the patient might be affected.
