Wildland fires that move toward populated areas can be deadly, destructive and frightening for those residing in their paths. Communication is critical during emergencies. Access to vital safety information is important for communities who may be affected. One such community is the Deaf and hard-of-hearing. Ideally, captioning and/or sign language interpreters are provided by emergency response organizations to reach access and functional needs audiences. In previous wildland fire seasons, these services were not provided in Arizona.
