Wildfires

Wildfires can be extremely unpredictable. High winds and an available fuel source can cause a remote grass fire to suddenly expand and turn toward populated areas. The speed at which these fires can travel is surprising. Local officials can access NOAA weather radio to broadcast updated alerts and instructions to citizens potentially in the path of these dangerous fires.

Warnings and instructions broadcast through LAWS units will give people gathering outdoors the time they need to not only find safety themselves but to take precautions to preserve property as well.
