In Ontario, 19,000 volunteer firefighters use personal vehicles with flashing green lights to signal emergency response.
While it’s a courtesy, right now it is not mandatory for motorists to pull over when they see a green light flashing on an oncoming volunteer firefighter’s vehicle.
The goal is simple: allow firefighters to reach the station promptly.
Though locals are adapting, visitors often miss the signal.
These lights don’t grant speed privileges under traffic laws, but they ask for a safe yield.
When you spot that green light, remember: every moment counts.
Pull over and support their mission.
It could be your loved one’s emergency they’re rushing to, Sears implores, urging respect for the green signal.
