Slow down in pull onto the drive, staying parallel to the roadway. This way if the emergency vehicle needs to go into that drive, I can quickly get out of it's [/COLOR]way

Pull over as far as I safely can. And I am close to the crest of a hill, I go partway down the hill so it can safely pass me in the opposing lane.

Just pull over and stop on the roadway, staying clear of driveways, as I am not in his way.

Would love to hear what you guys think is appropriate and feel free to explain why you do what you do.

Since I can't go anywhere without being on a narrow two-laned road, no shoulders, only ditches, I have already been in each of your scenarios. I always drive with my window cracked opened so that I have plenty of warning of emergency vehicles nearby and can plan where I can pull over long before they get near me. And in all cases one needs to be mindful of opposing cars and where they pull over so the roadway isn't blocked.
