Important Reminder from the Sundre Fire Department

In Alberta, when an emergency vehicle approaches with lights and sirens activated:

You Must Pull Over and Stop: It’s not just a courtesy, it’s the law. Move to the nearest curb or edge of the roadway and stop completely.

For Oncoming Traffic: You are also required to pull over and stop. We might need to use your lane, and not doing so creates a dangerous situation.

Slow Down for Stopped Emergency Vehicles: When passing a stopped emergency vehicle with lights activated, you must slow down to 60 km/h.

By following these rules, you help us reach emergencies safely and efficiently. Thank you for your cooperation!
