聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Officers wanted to remind the public as well that when out driving and an emergency vehicle, whether RCMP, EMS, or Fire, the public is to pull over and come to a complete stop. This includes vehicles in the same lane as them as well as oncoming vehicles. Officers have been finding that people are not pulling over at all and on calls are even having to slow down and wait to pass with oncoming vehicles and vehicles in the same lane not heeding to emergency lights.
