How many feet should you stay behind a emergency vehicle?

Answer 1

The distance one must maintain behind an emergency vehicle actively engaged in a response, or a pursuit, will vary by state regulations, and even sometimes by local jurisdiction. Fire apparatus customarily has this distance stenciled on the back of the equipment. If it is a law enforcement or emergency medical vehicle you must be aware of your own jurisdictions regulations.

Note: Unless you are also operating an emergency vehicle, you may NOT follow one engaged as above. It is against the law to do so in every jurisdiction I am aware of.
