If an emergency vehicle is approaching from the direction you are traveling and heading the opposite direction with lights and siren, you are required by law to pull over on the shoulder except when...
1. There is a concrete divider between lanes
2. The two lanes are not connected by concrete (trees or forest land inbetween
If you are on the interstate or other divided highway and they are approaching from behind you, then you are required by law to pull off onto the shoulder - but either side is fine.

In spite of what the previous answerers said, I still think you have to pull over because the emergency vehicle may be planning to turn left at the next intersection.

What state are you in? In Arizona, you are required to pull over regardless of the divider. Technically, this wopuld apply even on a freeway with a divider in between.
Sorry we can't answer that specifically, but we need to know what state you live in, as each state's laws are different.

Only if there are driveways between the two lanes, which would give the chance that the vehicle could turn at any moment. If there is no chance of that, then continue onward.

If you are anywhere near an entersection or way for the emergency vehicle to travel, move over. If you are on the other side of the freeway, keep moving.

No. The rule is exempted from divided highways.

It is polite to do so. I am not sure if it is a law or not though.
