1997 Minnesota Statutes

     169.17 Emergency vehicles. 

    The speed limitations set forth in sections 169.14 to 
 169.17 do not apply to an authorized emergency vehicle 
 responding to an emergency call.  Drivers of all emergency 
 vehicles shall sound an audible signal by siren and display at 
 least one lighted red light to the front, except that law 
 enforcement vehicles or medical emergency vehicles shall sound 
 an audible signal by siren or display at least one lighted red 
 light to the front.  This provision does not relieve the driver 
 of an authorized emergency vehicle from the duty to drive with 
 due regard for the safety of persons using the street, nor does 
 it protect the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle from 
 the consequence of a reckless disregard of the safety of others.
