And that's why they have sirens.
If she was in Cali, and could prove that ONLY the emergency lights were activated, and NO SIREN sounding, she quite possibly would have won her case if she had sued.

If I approached a red light while responding code 3, proceeded through the red light and hit a car, I would have been responsible. Not the car that failed to yield the right of way. Cali is a pretty shitty place to deal with when it comes to first responders.

The bottom line is, all that noise is made for a reason. To attract the attention of EVERYONE.
