The Cosumnes Fire Department reminds motorists that the law requires they pull to the right-hand curb to allow emergency vehicles to pass. Failure to do so can cause serious accidents or delays in ambulances, fire engines and fire trucks arriving at the scene of an emergency.
The reason we send a fire engine or fire truck along with the ambulance is if the patient is critically ill or not able to walk and must be carried to our gurney, the additional people staffing the fire engine or truck ensure that patient care needs are met in a timely and safe manner.
