Pull Over To Curb When Fire Trucks Roll To Alarm When you hear a fire siren while you are driving your automobile, pull over to the curb and stop if fire fighting vehicles are coining your way, the American Insurance Association said today.

Failure to do so may be helping a fire to spread beyond control.
