Emergency Vehicles - Get the heck out of their way

[El Diablo]

I was riding to meet a buddy for lunch today and was stopped at a light. I had 5 or so cars in front of me and plenty behind waiting for the light to change. Just before it does, I hear a siren. Can't make out exactly where it is coming from but sounds like approaching from behind heading my way. Light turns green and everyone in front of me takes off. I still can't see the emergency vehicle but looking back see something red moving towards me so I figure it is a fire truck. No where for me to move over as there are cars on my right starting to go. The lady behind me is blowing her horn and telling me in no uncertain terms that the light has turned green so go. I point back to the now fire department ambulance passing us both in the turn lane at a high rate of speed. It goes up to the intersection and turns left. I then move forward and we both make it through the light before it turns back red.

I don't know if I was able to hear the siren better being on my bike and not in a car or if the lady heard the siren and just didn't care. I for one don't want to be run over by a fast moving emergency vehicle that maybe doesn't see me on the little GZ. :skull:
