During this incident, responders noted many motorists were not fully paying attention to their surroundings. How said many drivers started to pull out after the first emergency vehicle passed. He said fire departments and emergency medical services often travel at different speeds and follow different paths than police.

“RCMP would like the public to be cognizant police often respond with several vehicles, and will purposely take different routes to a location,” How said. “Once motorists have pulled over, they should check their surroundings for a second or third responding vehicle. First responders appreciate how much respect and attention is usually paid to them as they are responding with emergency equipment activated.”
