For EMS Safety Day, the Mason City Fire Department reminds everyone to help keep responders, patients, and the public safe.
When you see emergency vehicles with lights and sirens, stay calm, use your signal, and pull over to the right side of the road until they pass. Do not stop in the middle of an intersection, and never attempt to follow an ambulance.
Avoid distractions, keep your music low enough to hear sirens, and use extra caution at intersections. A few safe choices from every driver can make a difference when every second counts.
Thank you for helping us protect our community.
