Default Firemen with blue lights on vehicles

Was just wondering...is a motorist in PA legally required to give the right of way to a private vehicle with a flashing blue (no red; just blue) emergency light? Such as a volunteer fireman? I think not, since it is not an official vehicle (thus the blue-only lights). I believe volunteer fire chiefs only can use a red light...in which case of course, a right of way must legally be given.
Is it correct to say that giving way to a vehicle with a blue light would be....a courtesy?
Any thoughts or facts from the LEOs here?
