Techniques are provided for operation of a vehicle in the event of an emergency. The techniques include receiving, using one or more sensors of a vehicle operating within an environment, sensor data representing an object located within the environment. The sensor data is used to identify whether the object is an emergency vehicle. Responsive to identifying that the object is an emergency vehicle, the sensor data is used to determine whether the emergency vehicle is operating in an emergency mode. Responsive to determining that the emergency vehicle is operating in the emergency mode, instructions representing an emergency operation for the vehicle are transmitted to a control module of the vehicle. The control module of the vehicle operates the vehicle in accordance with the emergency operation.
