Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Only when it is traveling on urgent duty and signals this properly.
The fire truck has the right-of-way only when it is responding to an emergency and signaling this with its special signals, as in the image, with its blue light on. It normally uses the light and siren together, but if turning off the siren poses no danger, it must use only the light and still has the right-of-way. When not responding to an emergency, it is just another vehicle.
