Grant the emergency vehicle the right of way.
Yes if you are just following it to see where it is going. It is however not illegal to be going in the same direction as an emergency vehicle as long as you stay 500 feet back. If the emergency vehicle is not using its emergency lights or sirens, and is not stopped at an emergency scene, you can treat it like a regular vehicle and follow it as would be legal for any other vehicle.
A wrecker is considered to be an emergency vehicle when it's emergency lights are flashing. Under normal circumstances a wreckers lights are not flashing it is just a truck or service vehicle.
when an emergency vehicle is answering a call, you must stay at least 500 ft. away from the vehicle.

How much is the fine for failure to yield to emergency vehicle?
Slow down, assess the situation and give the emergency vehicle plenty of room.
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.

Turn on your flashers to help the emergency vehicle. If the emergency vehicle is moving and has a siren running, pull over to the side of the road.
