I just found this and I thought about sharing some thoughts. I actually commented about this sort of thing a while back but it's always good to reinforce the idea.

People are so dumb. These brave folks are not racing or simply "having fun" in the traffic with their big flashy trucks. They are trying to help people, maybe even safe one's life. You see an emergency vehicle coming your way with the sirens and lights on then simply MOVE OUT OF THEIR WAY! These are called "emergency vehicles" for a reason. You do not get the right to complain or be mad at these men and women. They are not getting in your way; it is you who is getting in their way! You getting in their way could be the decisive factor between someone living or dying. Literally. Who knows what sort of emergency they are attempting to respond to? One should be happy to let emergency vehicles through. You are potentially helping save someone's life! And who knows... maybe one day it is you who will need a fire truck, an ambulance or a police car to get to you as quickly as possible for whatever reason! I don't know, maybe you will be trapped in a burning building, had an an accident and is bleeding badly or is hostage to some criminal? What if some moron keeps them from reaching you in time? I honestly feel happy when I give way to an ambulance or fire truck. It happened at least twice that I was in traffic, at a red light, and an ambulance came up behind mine and other cars. We all put on our hazard lights and carefully (but quickly) drove away to the sides as we could to make room. Did it make a little mess of the traffic? Yes, absolutely. But it was for a good cause. And I liked it.
