If your vehicle has abs brakes, just apply the brakes hard and steer away from danger. If the vehicle does not have abs brakes, try to apply the brakes without locking up the wheels and going into a skid then steer away from danger. If you lock up the brakes and go into a skid you will lose control of your steering.
Emergency vehicles responding to an emergency
Emergency Stop SwitchesAn emergency stop switch is a switch which is attached to a machine to interrupt operation in the event of an emergency.• Standards for the Emergency Stop Function: ISO 13850 and IEC 60204-1The most relevant standards for emergency stop applications are ISO 13850 and IEC 60204-1. ISO 13850 contains functional aspects and principles for design. IEC 60204-1 is about the safety of machinery and electrical equipment of machines.• Emergency Stop Devices(1) TypesThe following are typical types of emergency stop devices:A pushbutton operated switchA pull-cord operated switch(2) RequirementsElectric contacts must have a direct opening mechanism.Emergency stop devices must have a holding function that will mechanically hold in the stop position until the device is manually reset.Actuators of an emergency stop device must be colored red and of a mushroom shape. The background immediately behind the actuator must be colored yellow.Consideration must be given to the following items when a wire is used as an actuator.The amount of deflection needed to generate the emergency stop signalThe maximum deflection possibleThe minimum clearance between the wire and the nearest machine in the vicinityThe amount of force required for operationThe ease with which an operator can locate the device, by use of a marker flag or other methodThe automatic generation of an emergency stop signal in the event that the wire breaks or becomes detached
It is impossible to say what the individual driver may do. By law, they must stop. Most emergency personnel would stop.
Tailgating an emergency vehicle is silly, as not only will you be speeding (only the emergency is allowed to speed while showing blue lights, and siren), but the emergency vehicle may stop suddenly, so you may crash and find yourself in trouble.

During emergency stop, focus on not hitting the obstacle. Then turn on the emergency lights to indicate that you are now an obtsacle on the road.
Stop the machine.
Yes.
all traffic, in either direction, must slow down, pull to the right of the road, and stop until the emergency vehicle passes

Emergency glands are also called as adrenals and are found on top of each kidney. they secrete hormones called adrenaline when the body suddenly faces an emergency situation.
