Do you pray for ambulances going by? fire engines with their sirens? do you get out of the way when driving?

Yes.Especially when involved. Few times is that necessary. And I follow up on them. I do respect and pull over immediately. I have no respect for those who don't.

No, I concentrate on getting out of their way in the most useful manner possible ( not always as easy pulling over in NYC).

After a nearly 30 year career full time in NYC as a paramedic, I am comfortably an atheist. At times was a lapsed churchgoer, then a committed active church member, then an agnostic. Been a convinced atheist for ~15 years. Never noticed a difference in the survival rate of my patients, or how well I treated them. It's always all on the medic.

Keep up the good work as a medic, though.

"Do you pray for ambulances going by? fire engines with their sirens?" - Yes.

"Do you get out of the way when driving and hear or see those coming, because it could be someone's life if you don't?" Yes.

I try and figure out why people are so self centered - say a small prayer - and turn up the music. I will never understand humans even if I live forever.

Yes, I do pray for the person(s) involved & their families. and, yes I do not only get out of the way but stop driving & pull over. I live in a crowded area & that's what we're supposed to do.

I was taught to pray when I hear sirens, see accidents, hear of accidents or see sick or disabled people. We were taught by Catholic nuns (in the old days of religious schooling) & I feel, in some small way, that maybe God will listen to my prayers and that the prayers may help in some way.

Another thing we were taught to do (wasn't a sin if we didn't do these small acts) was to bow our heads when we pass by the outside of a church. I do it at Catholic Churches where the altars are - even if I'm driving a car because the altars are where the holy sacrifice of the mass is held and where, we believe that God comes to us in communion.

I do these small things by habit; I doubt that any of my children do it. But they do stop for sirens because they're, all 3 of them, in the medical profession and that my husband & I did teach them. I liked your question and gave it a star.

I don't pray, but I do get concerned over who it is. I live in a very rural area where everybody knows everybody else, so sometimes it is someone I know.

If I'm driving, I always get out of the way.

An ambulance always has the right of way (((WS))).

As do fire engines, police cars, and oddly enough, mail delivery vehicles.

So I always give way.

And whenever I hear a siren, I DO always hope that nobody is seriously injured or worse.

I can't help it..

I have literally heard of a person who does this on a regular basis and one time actually had one of the victims recognize her on the street, They say they felt and saw this person praying for them in the ambulance.

I don't pray, never really thought about it. Sounds like a good idea though. And yes, I always move out of the way.

I have on occasion prayed. But I did definitely get out to the way

I do not pray for something I have no knowledge about. I also yield right of way for emergency vehicles...It is the law in most states.
