Reviewing the complaints for sirens. Anyone realize it is literally illegal (violates motor vehicle act) for them to not use both lights and sirens to disobey any other components of the motor vehicle act (i.e. speed, proceed through an intersection with a red light or even stand (stop) in the middle of the street. Should an incident occur and these were not activated it is likely the City would be sued (a drunk driver crashed into a parked fire truck off to the side of the road in Richmond without the correct lights activated and the drunk driver sued the city and won!!). Only the police have an option in the motor vehicle act permitting them to disobey components of the motor vehicle act without sirens activated.

I’m sorry for the 1 star. I appreciate your service. However, sirens and air horns are literally used AFTER midnight on a week night and sometimes at 5:30am. This seems excessive and unnecessary as there’s barely any traffic at that time. Can you pleaseeee stop???

Major reason of being exposed to extremely high pitched sirens and air horns 7/24. I question the benefit of using their sirens and air horns in front of their station all the time. There must be a restriction of using sirens and air horns. As a seasoned driver, I can state that, majority of the citizens are aware of the law which requires yielding emergency vehicles. And we practice this law all the time. However, the drivers of these trucks thinks that we don't here or see them, and use their sirens and air horns without questioning the necessity.

Why use the air horns and sirens late at night? 🤤 The other halls in town dont'. Smart.

In the middle of the night, on Cambie bridge, no car, no intersection, but let's put the sirens so everybody living around false creek can hear you, just in case people were sleeping.
