(in the US) Most DMV regulations specify that only so-called "emergency response vehicles" may pass through 'controlled intersections' and then only with their audible and visual warning devices fully activated. Some jurisdictiosns require that these "emergency vehicles" actually come to a complete stop at each red light and stop sign before proceeding through the intersection agsainst the indication of the signal. As with most laws written by the individual states, they do vary. Check your own state's Motor Vehicle Codes for the answer that applies to your state.
