A digital notification system is providing motorists real-time safety alerts when approaching active emergency responders during response or on-scene at an emergency incident.
Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) issued a statement announcing it had recently implemented Safety Cloud by HAAS Alert in department fire engines, trucks and command vehicles.
LPFD began implementation of the system earlier this year and since then over 86,500 vehicles have been notified within the communities of Livermore and Pleasanton.
These alerts have been proven to protect the public and first responders as well as improve compliance with Move Over laws, and reduce the likelihood of secondary collisions near roadside incidents, according to the department’s statement.
“We’re happy to be able to add another level of protection for our firefighters so they can respond to incidents as safely as possible,” said deputy chief Aaron Lacey.
