When a driver hears a siren or sees the lights of an emergency response vehicle, it’s imperative to get out of the way.


“It slows down our response time of the police, fire (and) EMS,” said Sgt. Terry Phillips with the Moose Jaw Police Service. “Obviously if we’re going lights and siren, there’s a reason for that and if people aren’t pulling over and (are) slowing us down, that can cause a certain impact and, worse case scenario, it can cause accidents.”
