Wilmot, NH — November 18 — Drivers are being urged by the Wilmot Volunteer Fire Department to contribute to the safety of roadway responders. During auto accidents and medical emergencies, police, firefighters, and EMS professionals frequently operate in close proximity to traffic. Passing cars can be dangerous, particularly in the winter or at night.

The Move Over Law in New Hampshire mandates that when approaching emergency vehicles with warning lights, drivers must slow down and offer more room. Responders can concentrate on patient treatment and safe scene operations by taking these easy steps to help prevent secondary occurrences. Wilmot firemen are appreciative of drivers who adhere to these safety precautions and report significant community support. The department keeps up its outreach to make sure locals are aware of how minor changes made while driving can protect people who are trying to aid others.
