move to a lane not adjacent to emergency vehicle and pass with caution
NO. 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. You should check the law in your particular jurisdiction.

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.
Yes. You are required to yield to any emergency vehicle with active emergency indicators (flashing lights, sirens, etc).
