Yield to Emergency Vehicles

🚨 Don’t be this guy! 🚨

Our deputies are seeing it way too often — drivers failing to pull over for emergency vehicles.

When you see flashing lights and hear sirens, pull to the right and come to a complete stop. This is what deputies, firefighters, and paramedics are trained to expect. It keeps everyone safe and helps us reach emergencies as quickly as possible.

In this video, Deputy Lopez is responding to a high-priority call involving public and family safety. Unfortunately, several drivers failed to follow the law, creating a delay and unnecessary risks for everyone on the road.

✅ Do this:

• Pull to the right shoulder and stop.

• Stay stopped until the emergency vehicle has passed.

❌ Do NOT:

• Pull to the left.

• Stop in your lane.

• Turn on your flashers and keep driving.

⚖️ Remember: By law, you must yield to emergency vehicles with lights and sirens activated. Failure to do so can result in fines or even arrest, depending on the circumstances. If it were your emergency, you’d want first responders to reach you as quickly and safely as possible. Please do your part — help us help you. 💙
