 Emergency responders ask that you follow these simple tips to ensure they can quickly get to where help is needed.

1. Obey all traffic signals. A quickly changing traffic light may mean an emergency vehicle is approaching.
    

2. Whenever an emergency vehicle approaches from any direction pull you vehicle slowly over to the right side of the road and stop. Sudden maneuvers may panic or confuse other drivers.
    

3. Never try to beat an emergency vehicle through
   an intersection. They may be moving faster that you anticipated. Often, emergency vehicles are heavy and require a greater stopping distance.
    

4. The Fort Washington Fire Company also uses Fire Police to help control traffic at intersections. Please obey the Fire Police to help ensure their safety as well as yours.

Bob Lester is the Chief Engineer at the Fort Washington Fire Company and is responsible for all our apparatus.
