When you hear the siren of an emergency vehicle while driving on a two-way street, the law requires you to pull over to the right side of the road and stop, allowing the emergency vehicle to pass safely. If there are multiple lanes, you should also ensure that you are not blocking the lane designated for the emergency vehicle. It’s important to remain stopped until the emergency vehicle has completely passed. Always stay alert for additional emergency vehicles that may follow.
Make sure they can pass by your vehicle. Follow instruction if there is any. If you're in the way : GET OUT OF THE WAY. If you're waiting at a red light, carefully and slowly engage yourself so that the emergency vehicle can pass. Other road users will be warned by the siren. In most country, willingly blocking an emergency vehicle can lead to prosecutions in crime law.
