In the USA, slow down and move to the right side of the road as soon as it is safe to do so. On a 2-lane road, move to the shoulder. Allow the emergency vehicle to proceed.
While it is perfectly legal in Texas to do so, as a driver, you must be aware of your surroundings - if both ears are covered by the headphones, you will not be able to hear sirens of approaching emergency vehicles. Driving is a serious responsibility, and a privilege, not a right!! When driving, one needs to concentrate on the road.
Walk on the left side in order to watch for approaching vehicles
Pull to the side of the road so it can go past you.
Emergency vehicles must always assume that a runway is being used for air traffic, even after an emergency landing. They must wait until cleared by the tower before moving onto the runway and not assume they can go once the emergency craft has landed.
Stay 500 feet behind it if it's lights are flashing (in the U.S.)
When entering the roadway from an alley or driveway, you must stop before reaching the sidewalk. Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and approaching vehicles

Police, fire and rescue.
