C L E A R
Do you know what to do when approached by an emergency vehicle? When approached by an emergency vehicle, the law is to pull over to the closest parallel edge of the road and yield the right of way. Slow down and move over, in other words “give us a brake.” Stay alert and pay attention to police and fire personnel. Expect the unexpected and be patient. Do the following:

C – Calmly pull over as close to the edge of the roadway as possible and STOP.

L – Leave room. Keep intersections clear and never try to follow emergency vehicles.

E – Enter into traffic with caution after the emergency vehicle has passed. Remember to use signals (or blinkers).

A – Aware – Be aware of your surroundings. Keep radio volume low and check rear view mirror frequently (for more emergency vehicles which may be on the way).

R – Remain stopped until emergency vehicle has passed. Be mindful that there may be additional emergency vehicles approaching.
