Green Flashing Light
The purpose of the flashing green light is to inform other motorists that a firefighter is en route to an emergency call such as a fire. To help support our volunteers you can, if safe to do so, yield the right-of-way by slowing down and pulling over to let firefighters pass by. This will help to ensure a quick response and could help save lives!
While it is the law to pull over and slow down safely for emergency vehicles with flashing lights such as fire trucks, police and ambulances, it is not the law to do so for volunteer firefighters running green lights. The flashing green light does not give volunteer firefighters exemptions from, or extra privilege’s within the Highway Traffic Act. We must still abide by the rules of the road and are held accountable just the same. Pulling over and yielding the right of way to a firefighter with flashing green lights is merely a courtesy, and will help allow the firefighter to get to the station or scene during an emergency call quickly.
Keep and eye out for these signs around Woolwich Township, neighbouring municipalities, and across Ontario.
