How close is it unlawful to follow a fire truck with an active siren?
State law prohibits drivers from trailing a fire truck responding to an emergency, such as a fire alarm, closer than 500 feet. Furthermore, vehicles should not be driven or parked within the block where a fire truck is situated while attending to a fire alarm. This regulation ensures unobstructed access for emergency vehicles, allowing them to perform their tasks swiftly and safely, reducing risks to both emergency responders and the public.
