Emergency medical service personnel, police officers, and firefighters spend their days working for the public and putting their own safety at risk. In many cases, the risk is unavoidable, but there are cases when it’s easy to increase safety for our public servants, and for other residents, too.
One of the easiest ways is by installing an emergency vehicle warning system near fire and police stations. These systems alert passing drivers when a safety vehicle is about to leave the station and come into traffic. The alarm prevents the likelihood of an emergency vehicle being struck as it heads out on a call. It’s a simple and effective method for increasing the safety of public employees. In addition, these make the area safer for vehicles traveling near fire and police stations.
Emergency vehicle warning systems are especially reliable since these systems offer a solar power option. This allows you to install the system even when there is no local power source available at the site. If power is available, the solar option will serve as an automatic backup system during power outages.
Emergency vehicle warning systems offer an affordable way to increase safety for emergency personnel and local drivers. The systems can easily be budgeted into city or county budgets, allowing a warning system at every station. If money is tight, you can start by installing the systems at stations in high traffic areas first, and add systems to less busy areas in subsequent years.
Talk to a professional about the best plan for installing emergency vehicle warning systems to protect local law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical service personnel and local travelers. There may be no easier way for your city to provide safety to those valuable employees who keep everyone else safe.
