The panel discussed low vs. high frequency sirens and the importance of warning the public about oncoming emergency vehicles as early as possible.
"The more time the motoring public has or pedestrians have to react, the more time a first responder has to safely get where they're going and accomplish their tasks," said Preston Tischer, product manager for Whelen Engineering.
