When is the only time you should NOT let an emergency vehicle pass you?

When an emergency vehicle is approaching, the aim is to give it a clear path by pulling to the right and stopping if safe. The only time you should not let it pass is if you’re already in the middle of an intersection or roundabout. Stopping there blocks the crossing and can create a dangerous backup, so you should continue through the intersection if you can do so safely, then pull over to the side once you’ve cleared it. This helps the emergency vehicle move through quickly while avoiding creating additional hazards.
