500 feet
Stay 500 feet behind it if it's lights are flashing (in the U.S.)
All emergency vehicles in my area are labelled "Stay 500 feet behind"
When you are within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or you come up behind a vehicle.
Yes if you are just following it to see where it is going. It is however not illegal to be going in the same direction as an emergency vehicle as long as you stay 500 feet back. If the emergency vehicle is not using its emergency lights or sirens, and is not stopped at an emergency scene, you can treat it like a regular vehicle and follow it as would be legal for any other vehicle.
at a set of red lights. how many feet should you be behind the vehicle in front of you?
Tailgating an emergency vehicle is silly, as not only will you be speeding (only the emergency is allowed to speed while showing blue lights, and siren), but the emergency vehicle may stop suddenly, so you may crash and find yourself in trouble.

Motorists should maintain a distance of at least 500 feet behind a signaling emergency vehicle. This distance helps ensure the safety of emergency responders and allows for adequate space to maneuver in case of sudden stops or changes in direction. Always follow local laws and regulations regarding this requirement, as they may vary by state or area.

I'm quite sure there is no emergency vehicle anywhere within which you can travel 300 feet.
