MILLS, Wyo. — In an effort to enhance road safety and protect first responders, the Mills Fire Department and Banner Wyoming Medical Center EMS are integrating HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud digital alerting into their fire apparatuses and ambulances.

This collision prevention service enables the delivery of real-time alerts to Wyoming drivers when emergency services are active in the vicinity.

Safety Cloud boosts driver compliance with Move Over laws by dispatching real-time notifications when first responders are en route or on-scene. This digital solution effectively enhances light bars and sirens with additional in-vehicle notification, thereby minimizing the likelihood of collisions with emergency personnel.

Safety Cloud’s digital alerting delivers immediate warnings to drivers of the proximity of emergency vehicles or road workers. This preemptive measure has been proven to significantly reduce collision risks by up to 90%, safeguarding both first responders and the motoring public.

Despite Wyoming Move Over laws necessitating drivers to decelerate and change lanes when approaching active emergency vehicles, delayed or non-compliant reactions persist. Safety Cloud addresses this issue by providing up to 30 seconds of preemptive warning, facilitating safer responses.
