Well, fire trucks can proceed through controlled intersections, can even go against the flow of traffic, but must have sirens going and lights flashing when they do so. This could be why, even in the late evening and early morning hours, we see flashing lights and hear sirens. Also, there COULD be traffic....just because we are home sleeping, doesn't mean roads are traffic free.
