Don't worry, we we drive our trucks over 10mph faster:D  All within reason
of course.

I found out some time ago that in Ohio, (or maybe just in Toledo),
emergency vehicles can only go 10 mph over the posted speed limit.
The fireperson who told us this said she has a friend who got a ticket
for speeding on the way to a fire. The police won't stop them en route,
but will note the station number and vehicle and send a violation to the
station. A friend who is a retired fireman confirmed that this is true.

If my house was burning, I think I'd want the fire truck to get there as
quick as humanly possible.

I think you will find that is not the case in a lot of places. It certainly
is not here in Oklahoma where I work. The rules and regulations regarding
emergency vehicle operations are few and far between. In many cases, when
an emergency vehicle runs a red light/stop sign, etc, and an accident ensues
the other party is issued a ticket for failure to yield to said emergency
vehicle. May not always be right, but it happens none the less. I
personnaly have never caused anaccident by going through a red light or 4
way stop with my lights and sirens on. How many times have you seen World
Wildest Police Chases and see the cops stop at lights while giving chase?

In NJ (and I suspect most other states), all emergency vehicles must
stop for red lights, check to make sure that the intersection is clear
and then proceed with caution. It is illegal for them to proceed
through the intersection without stopping regardless if their siren and
lights are on.
