Can you pass a firetruck

It is illegal to pass a fire apparatus when it is responding to an emergency with its lights and/or sirens activated. If the fire truck is driving without its lights or sirens activated, it is no different than any other vehicle. That being said, keep in mind that a fire crew can be called to an emergency at any time, and it is best to leave them room to change lanes, move around stopped traffic, etc.

Also, keep in mind that most firetrucks are large, heavy vehicles, and are often carrying thousands of litres of water. This means that they cannot maneuvre as quickly as a passenger car. It takes a firetruck longer to accelerate and stop that the average car. For your safety, and the safety of everybody else, keep clear of all emergency vehicles while they are responding to an emergency. Pull to the right and STOP when an emergency vehicle approaches you.
