    Community Road Rule: Sirens & Lights!

    Golden Rule of Safety

    👂

    1. Hear the Siren

    Listen for the loud siren wail or look for bright flashing red, white, and blue beacons.

    🚗 ➔ 🛣️

    2. Pull to the Right

    All drivers steer their cars safely over toward the right shoulder of the road.

    🛑

    3. Stop and Wait

    Stay completely stopped until every emergency vehicle has passed safely through!

    "Sirens sound and flashers light: Drivers pull over to the right!"

    If Clothes Catch Fire:

    STOP Do not run! Running feeds oxygen to fire.

    DROP Drop smoothly flat onto the ground.

    ROLL Cover your face with hands and roll side to side.

    Test home smoke alarm batteries twice a year when the clocks change!

    Ways We Can Show Support:

    • ★ Write heartfelt cards and draw rescue pictures
    • ★ Smile, wave, and say "Thank you for keeping us safe!"
    • ★ Follow safety rules at home, school, and on streets
