Yes you should yield to them.
However, there are some volunteers who think they mean they can drive like a bat out of hell, passing in the wrong lane, speeding (more than one would let slide, etc).
In my jurisdiction, we had one volunteer run a marked car off the road!!! Needless to say he was cited by the officer.

Before he passed he was a volunteer fireman for as long as I can remember and when that wistle blew WOW! I think he would have ran over my mom if she didn't move quick enough.
