They did that one because we were going through some of the most crowded areas right when schools and offices closed for the Day. But I didn't die or anything so I guess it worked

      I don't know your jurisdiction but in some places if an emergency vehicle is flashing the reds & blues & has an accident they'll be held at fault if they didn't have the siren on because they didn't give "full warning" even if it's 3am in a quiet empty well lit street & they were hit while driving under the speed limit etc.

      Protocol. Switch tones a specified distance from the intersection, and then usually again as you enter the intersection. Generally progression is wail-yelp-hyper yelp/horn combo. I also alternate between wail and yelp when approaching cross streets and spam the horn if there is traffic.

    I work right outside a busy intersection that a lot of emergency personnel go through daily. I love to hear the different siren patterns as the trucks navigate the intersection.
