Twp of Washington NJ, have you ever seen someone driving behind you with a blue flashing light? What does that blue light mean? According to the Twp of Washington Fire Department in NJ, a blue light displayed on a vehicle indicates a volunteer firefighter or EMT is responding to a 911 call in their personal vehicle. They are responding to their firehouse or first aid squad to provide the manpower for emergency apparatus to respond to the emergency. If you see a passenger car with a flashing blue light, please consider treating it like any other emergency vehicle; we are requesting the right of way – this is a courtesy light. When it is safe to do so, please pull over to the right and come to a complete stop, so that we may travel safely past. Many don’t know about the flashing blue lights. Every second counts. Help us help you. You never know, we could be responding to an emergency for a friend or one of your loved ones.
