(A) The provisions of this title and the traffic ordinances of the village regulating the operation of motor vehicles within the village, relative to speed, stopping at stop signs and stop lights, right-of-way and other such regulations, shall not be applicable to vehicles when operated with due regard to safety under the direction of a law enforcement officer in the chase or apprehension of violators of the law, or of persons charged with or suspected of such violation, nor to fire department or fire patrol vehicles, including rescue trucks, when traveling in response to a fire alarm, or other emergency.
(B) This exemption shall not, however, protect the driver of any such vehicle from the consequences of a reckless disregard for the safety of others, and shall in no wise relieve the operators of such vehicle from the duty to give the required warning signals by siren, horn, lights and/or other required signals.
