. Moving vehicles on or approaching within 300' of the intended right-of-way; and
o As safety/warning notification to on-scene personnel. Usually activated by Incident Command.
Changing the siren cadence is an effective way to alert vehicles and! or pedestrians. The use of air horns should
be limited for a last resort accident avoidance.
When responding to an emergency, vehicle operators shall operate the vehicle they are driving as close as
possible to the posted speed limit, but to not exceed ten [10] miles per hour over the posted speed limit,
conditions pemlltting. Examples of conditions requiring slower response speeds include but are not limited to:
