The Ledger

From Heartland EMS

When you see emergency lights approaching, how you respond matters. A quick, safe reaction can help first responders reach someone in need faster — and may help save a life.

What To Do When You See an Ambulance

• Move to the right: Safely pull over and stop to allow emergency vehicles to pass.
• Do not block intersections: Wait until the roadway is clear before proceeding.
• Stay alert: Lower the music and listen for sirens, especially at night or in heavy traffic.
• Keep your distance: Never follow closely behind an emergency vehicle.

Even a delay of a few seconds can impact patient outcomes. Your cooperation helps emergency crews do their job safely and quickly.
