An emergency vehicle is any vehicle that is authorized to respond to an emergency. Most emergency response vehicles are easy to see and hear because they are fitted with visual and audible warning devices.
If you hear a siren close by but cannot see the emergency vehicle you should follow the law in your jurisdiction, which generally is to pull over safely until you are able to determine that you are not in its path.When being approached by an emergency vehicle using sirens and light/s, state laws in the U.S. generally require motorists to immediately pull to the right side of the road and wait for the emergency vehicle to pass. If stopped at an intersection with two-way traffic, remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes.
