Sirenes, bells, warbles, etc. are frequently sounded to warn street traffic that fire trucks are exiting the building. Flashing lights were quieter, but had little effect on traffic. Once into traffic, Monkeyhead is quite correct. (But what Monkeyhead is doing in traffic…oops, Groucho just took over.)

I lived two doors down from a fire station for two years. The sirens bothered me for a couple of weeks, but after that I never heard them.
