Unless the rules are different where you are you do. Generally the rule is that unless you are on a divided highway, you are required to pull to the right, even if the ambulance is going in the opposite direction. The word divided is taken to mean a physical barrier, such as a Jersey Barrier, or a traffic island.

An ambulance has the right of way when it is in an emergency
state. So, it's necessary to pull over to the side and allow as
much space as possible for the ambulance to move ahead
in carrying out its public duty.
Only ignorant and inconsiderate drivers will not pull over and prevent the ambulance from moving up.

being the wife of an EMT and knowing the problems they come across while driving to a call- I would say that no- you dont have to- but do make sure that they have a path to get through if necessary. Some state laws are different but for the most part it is not required unless you need to move out of their way if necessary. How would anyone feel if it was their family member in trouble and that one minute made a difference becasue someone was in the way

Hard to say because you don't say where you are from.
Having said that, it is kind of polite to get out of the way of an ambulance.

not if there is a divider that prevents him from entering your side.
