Fire Chief II. T. Lock said yesterday. "Fire trucks and ambul ances are not out except in cases of emergency and at these times must have the right of way."

A city by-law requires all traffic to pull over to the right as far as possible and come to a complete stop at the first sound of the siren, remaining there until mere is reasonable assurance that all vehicles of the department have passed.
