VIDEO: Have you ever sat at an intersection and you hear the blaring sounds of an emergency vehicle heading your way? The law says you're supposed to move out of the way so they can get through. That's not always the case. "A lot of times people they won't pull to the right or they physically can't because of the traffic," Lieutenant Reggy Becker with Gresham Fire says. A STEM focused team from Clear Creek Middle School made up of 7th and 8th graders, wants to solve that problem. "What we want to do is make it safer so there's like less crashes and make it more faster for them to get out there because the firefighters they set like time goals, but they never achieve them because it takes so long in traffic to get where they need to go," 8th grader Aaron Thompson said.
