You must yield the right-of-way to police cars, fire truck, ambulances, and other emergency vehicles which are sounding a siren or bell or flashing a red light by pulling to the edge of the road (the side you would normally stop and park on) and slowing down or stopping. In the event traffic is so congested as to prevent you from safely doing so, slow down and leave a clear path for the emergency vehicle.

The Sirens were young and beautiful bird-woman (similar to harpies) in Greek Mythology who lured sailors with their enchanting voices. Sailors entranced this way dove into the sea to be with the Sirens, or sailed their ships into the rocks and to their death. The Sirens are most famous for being in Homer's Odyssey where they tried to lure Odysseus on his way home from Troy.
They were given wings by Demeter to look for Persephone when she was taken as the sirens usually accompanied Persephone.
They were considered the daughters of the river god Achelous, fathered upon Terpsichore, Melpomene, Sterope, or Chthon.
NO! They are just myths like mermaids. Even though they might sound awesome, don't go around telling everyone they are real, because they were made up sometime in the late 1800's.

Why were Odysseus and his crew in grave danger from the Sirens?
Because the song of the siren could lure a sailor to death by drowning or into wrecking his ship along the cliffs that the sirens often sang from.
As an immortal god, Poseidon possesses vast strength and endurance. His physical capabilities are superior to those of the majority of Olympian gods. He has virtually inexhaustible stamina, and does not tire appreciably after any exertion. Like all Olympians, Poseidon is immortal, possessing a life essence that can not be ended by any conventional means. He can be wounded in battle, but his godly life force gives him incredible recuperative abilities. He can fully recover from penetration wounds (such as by knife, sword, or bullet) in anywhere from minutes to hours, depending on their severity. Only an injury of such magnitude that it incinerates him or disperses a major portion of his bodily molecules could cause him physical death. Poseidon commands all the power of the seas, enabling him to manipulate everything from weather patterns, to whirlpools and ocean currents, to sea vegetation. He also uses his trident to fire powerful energy blasts.
