Emergency Vehicle Operations
Emergency Vehicle Operations refer to the procedures and techniques used by emergency responders, such as police, firefighters, and ambulance services, to safely navigate through traffic while responding to emergencies. These operations prioritize quick response times while ensuring the safety of both the responders and the public.
Key components of Emergency Vehicle Operations include the use of lights and sirens to alert other drivers, adherence to traffic laws when possible, and effective communication with dispatch and other units. Training is essential for emergency personnel to handle high-stress situations and make quick decisions while driving under pressure.
