When #emergencyvehicles are responding to help in the community, please #pulltotherightandstop. Never pass them! We can’t afford to have even one fire truck out of commission. #beattentive #helpushelpyou #dontpassemergencyapparatus

An SUV and a Tulsa (OK) fire truck responding to an emergency had a close call Saturday.
As the apparatus approached an intersection and planned a U-turn, the SUV driver thought it was safe to pass on the left, until it became clear the fire truck was turning. Fortunately, no one was injured.
The Tulsa Fire Department used the video as a public service announcement on social media about the dangers of passing responding fire apparatus.
