Default Re: Firemen with blue lights on vehicles

I don't see any reason to not give right of way to someone on their way to an emergency.....

Edit: Being a volunteer fireman for 7 years, and growing up with my dad as a fire chief and PSP, I can tell you it's very frustrating to be on your way to a scene and have some asshole refuse to pull over. I don't even see where the debate is coming from. If there's a vehicle on their way to an emergency, and you have a problem pulling over, then you're no better than the people we see on the news complaining about how they don't feel safe in their houses now because the Police/Fire/EMS didn't respont fast enough, etc... (yet they themselves have never done anything to better their nightborhood by joining a Fire Dept, etc...)


If you don't have a blue/red light in your car, then you need to pull your ass over and let those who ARE on their way to go climb into a burning building do their job.
