When I hear or see the warning signal of an emergency vehicle, I immediately check my surroundings and prepare to pull over to the side of the road. It's important to create a clear path for the vehicle to pass safely. I also remain alert for any other vehicles that may be responding, as they could be following closely behind. Lastly, I stay calm and refrain from making sudden movements to ensure safety for all on the road.
