Correct answer
Yes, because it is travelling on urgent duty.
Police, firefighting, civil protection and rescue vehicles, and public or private medical assistance vehicles travelling on urgent duty must warn of their presence by using the special light signal and the special audible warning device at the same time. Exceptionally, they may use only the light signal to indicate that they are travelling on urgent duty when omitting the special audible warning does not pose a danger to other road users. In all cases, when it is travelling on urgent duty, we must give way to it.
