Travel with Intent 
The people were very respectful of the emergency vehicle, standing well away from it. It’s not unusual to see otherwise here. Cars too, not pulling over.

You caught a great variety of red in that shot, Debbie. I think this is a difficult word to show in a photo without explanation. Or even with.

This was a tough one, Debbie, but I finally found something I think works.

I like the red, I don’t like the emergency. When I came home yesterday at night there was an emergency at the tram station which is about 300m from our home. The light was blue, though: 2 police cars, 1 police van, 2 ambulances, 1 emergency doctor vehicle. A person on a stretcher which I saw from the side of my eyes when I was biking past. The blue light was very eerie, it was reflected in windows quite a few houses up the street. … Let’s forget about the visuals, listen to an emergency (it’s a weird thing to say on a photo blog): https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2025/07/20/warning-sirens/

That sounds bad – such a big response.
I would have liked sound to play with this phot – you get a human voice over the siren asking you to get out of the way please.

I love it! I reckon about 20% of emergencies are food-related

They do like their reds. And the wet floors always help
