The Wayne Township Fire Department has announced they will soon install an innovative alert system tied to their fire apparatus.
Known as the HAAS Alert system, this technology lets drivers know when emergency vehicles are stopped on the roadway by contacting their mobile traffic app directly. In other words, drivers will get immediate, real-time alerts and notifications, sent at a maximum of 30 seconds before they encounter a fire vehicle stopped on the road at an emergency.
WTFD said the HAAS system will be active throughout the entire fire apparatus, which will enhance safety for both first responders and the community. It will also help drivers stay informed as they navigate the road, particularly in the midst of emergencies.
