Let's Give Our Emergency Responders the Right of Way!

A story just crossed my desk and I have taken the liberty to paraphrase and work the words to the rural areas of this Province.

"I have a major problem when drivers fail to yield the right of way to an ambulance/police/fire vehicle driving with lights and siren.

After 23 years of this I know things won't change, This past year I was on 353 ambulance calls and I can only think of a few drivers who pulled to the right and stopped. I just wish people would realize that we might be going to their house or to a motor vehicle collision where a friend or family member was involved and that they should give the emergency vehicle the right of way by pulling to the right and stopping.

A flashing Green light in a vehicle is a volunteer firefighter responding to a medical or fire emergency call. Please pull to the right and stop."
