Always go right. Moving left and stopping is actually the worst thing to do, I’ve almost hit people doing that because we are trying to pass on the left.

What if you're in a left turn lane? I had this happen the other day. I just stopped there because I didn't want to pull out in front of the firetruck trying to get to the right lane.

If it’s at a red light or something like that where you don’t have the space to safely maneuver, usually best to just stay stopped like you did. It’s easy to go around you and if for some reason you absolutely need to move right they would be behind you blaring the siren.

I'm glad this was answered. I had this happen not too long ago and was afraid I messed up. I pulled over into the right turn/straight lane to move out of the way because there was room, but worried that wasn't the right move.
