Responders travel to the station in their privately owned vehicles. Idaho State Code gives them the ability to: activate hazard lights, safely exceed speed limits, and proceed cautiously through intersections. These vehicles are legally operating as emergency response units. If you see a vehicle with flashing hazards, please pull over safely to allow swift passage. Our community needs these responders to arrive safely and promptly to the emergency. 💬 Contact Us Want to learn more or ask questions? We’d love to connect!📧 Email Us at: tryska7307@gmail.com
