Excerpts from newschannel20.com:
The Springfield Fire Department has added the HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud Digital Alerting system so that drivers will receive digital alerts when an emergency vehicle is nearby via in-dash systems. The alerts are activated when SFD’s emergency lights are in use. If you’re driving and using a navigation system, you’ll get the alert that there is an emergency vehicle nearby and to pull over.
The goal is to reduce collision risks and facilitate the state’s move-over laws.
The fire department said it will work on several navigation devices, including:
- Jeep
- Dodge
- Ram
- Chrysler vehicles
- Waze
- Apple Maps
