Best Answer

It is to attract attention and let the other drivers know that an ambulance is coming so that the other drivers would give way. Red has been found to be a colour that is easier to notice, and the colour is often associated with important warnings.

You were involved in auto accident where the other driver ran the red light because an ambulance was behind her you were going in opposite direction and you had the green light is she at fault?

Technically a driver is not allowed to break any traffic laws to get out of the way of an ambulance, as such she should not have run the red light. If the ambulance had its lights and sirens on, then you are both at fault since you both should have pulled over.
