Can you hear
emergency vehicles approaching while you are driving?
Most vehicles today have been designed to help us avoid hearing road
noise, wind and other nuisances while we are driving. Combine that with
quality stereo systems that play music or talk with such fidelity (and
volume) and you may not hear the sirens and air-horns of approaching
emergency traffic.
Scan your mirrors, intersections and side roads frequently to be sure
that you are not heading directly into the path -- or blocking the path
of emergency vehicles such as fire engines, ambulances and police cars.
And, when you are aware of this type of traffic, please pull to the
right for the sirens and lights. Get Low. Get
Out. Call Fast. Many of
the recent fires in this community could have been less significant
if the fire department had been called earlier. Over the past year a
trend has been noticed. People are simply not calling the fire department
soon enough. To be candid, people are trying to solve their fire problem
without us. Or they are not responding to their smoke alarms soon enough.
