Final answer:

When department vehicles respond to alarms and approach a stop sign or red traffic light, they must come to a complete stop and proceed with caution.

Step-by-step explanation:

When department vehicles are responding to alarms and approaching a stop sign or red traffic light, they must follow specific protocols to ensure safety. The general rule is to come to a complete stop at the sign or light.

  1. Stop moving and become stationary until it is safe to proceed. This allows the vehicle to assess the situation and ensure no other vehicles or pedestrians are posing a risk.
  2. Once it is safe to do so, department vehicles can proceed through the sign or light with caution, keeping in mind the priority of reaching the alarm destination.
