New Alert System Warns Drivers of Approaching Fire Engines in Tualatin

(Tualatin, OR) -- Firefighters in Tualatin are using new dashboard technology to warn nearby drivers when emergency vehicles are approaching. The system, called HAAS Alert Safety Cloud, sends real-time alerts to car dashboards and navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze when fire crews activate their lights. Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue says 18 vehicles are already equipped, with plans to expand the technology to all frontline rigs next year. The system aims to reduce crashes with emergency vehicles and improve safety for both drivers and first responders.
