If you see an emergency vehicle with flashing lights behind you while driving, you should safely pull over to the right side of the road and come to a complete stop. This allows the emergency vehicle to pass quickly and safely. Remain alert and wait until the emergency vehicle has passed before merging back into traffic. Always follow local laws and regulations regarding yielding to emergency vehicles.
When an emergency vehicle approaches should you stop immediately wherever you are on the road?
No! The most important thing is to make room for it to safely pass you. Do this by moving to the right or left, depending on the rules of the road in the country concerned, stopping if approaching an intersection, or if otherwise needed for safety. If the emergency vehicle is in a lane to your left and is unimpeded there is no reason to stop or move to the right unless other traffic might get in its way. If the emergency vehicle is stopped on the shoulder, you should safely move to the left or right and SLOW DOWN until you have passed! Stopping where you are can block traffic, preventing the progress of the emergency vehicle.

What should you do when an emergency vehicle is approaching from behind on a one lane road with sidewalks on each side instead of shoulders?
The general rule is to move from the path of the emergency vehicle wherever possible. You are still responsible for following other traffic laws including avoiding vehicles and pedestrians. If you can safely move to the side far enough for the vehicle to pass, you should do so. Otherwise you should continue to where it is safe to get out of the way. A driver must consider where it is safe and legal to enter private property such as easements, parking lots, and driveways.

Move to the right side of the road to allow emergency vehicles to pass safely. Continue walking in the same direction but stay alert for any approaching vehicles. Do not suddenly change your direction or stop abruptly.
Why do I have to pump my brakes to stop the vehicle?
When you pump your brakes, it helps to maintain control and prevent skidding when stopping the vehicle, especially in slippery or emergency situations. This action allows the brakes to work more effectively and evenly, helping to slow down the vehicle safely.
