In narrow passages where vehicles cannot pass without reversing, the general rule states that the driver of the vehicle closer to the point where passing is possible should reverse. As the question explicitly states that my vehicle is closer to that point, it is up to me to perform the reversing maneuver. The driver of the fire engine does not have to reverse because they are further from the passing point. The priority rule based on vehicle category or direction of travel only applies when the distances to the passing point are equal, which is not the case in this situation.
