A Message from Richer Fire Department In light of two recent accidents involving emergency response vehicles in our neighboring community, we’d like to take this opportunity to remind drivers of the following information: An emergency vehicle, when responding to an emergency call, will sound an alarm and use flashing lights. The alarm may be a horn, gong, bell or siren. The lights may consist of any of the following: a flashing red light, flashing red and blue lights or alternating flashing headlights. When an emergency vehicle (ambulance, fire or police), sounding an alarm and flashing lights, is approaching from any direction you must yield right-of-way by: - immediately moving clear of an intersection if you are stopped for a red light or stop sign (If blocking the path of an emergency vehicle, you must proceed through a red light or stop sign with caution, to clear the way. - driving as closely as possible to the right curb or edge of roadway - remaining stopped at the edge of the road until the emergency vehicles have passed We’re trying to go help your family... let us get home safely to ours.
