Can you break the road rules for an ambulance with sirens on?

I had this a few months ago. I was sitting at a set of traffic lights and a fire truck with lights and sirens came up behind me so I had to move into the intersection on a red light. I was snapped by the red light camera (as did about 3 other cars as it was peak hour). I got the fine and disputed it and it was cleared.

I've seen ambo's etc cross to the other side of the road as well, but if they can't I don't know. I've never been in that situation to know what I'd do..

I personally would not speed though. I don't understand how you'd need too, but again, never been in the situation.
