 It's not the emergency alert sound you're probably used to, but this new high-low siren serves an important purpose. And the catalyst for this change is an incident that took place right here in Northern California. So after experiencing or assisting Lake County with their fires in 2014, we experienced our own catastrophic fires in 2017. And during those fires, you know, we had difficulty reaching some of the residents out in the rural areas for evacuation. In 2017, the Tubbs fire swept through Napa and Sonoma counties rapidly and unexpectedly. Law enforcement worked quickly to evacuate people on the fire's path, but it was difficult to get the attention of people used to the normal sirens they hear every day. At that time, John Robertson was our sheriff. He was trying to come up with an idea for being able to warn people to get them to safety faster. And he thought about the sirens there used over in Europe and thought, hey, this is a good idea. People will pay attention. Realizing that laws prohibited some vehicles from using the high-low siren, Sheriff Robertson worked with Senator Bill Dodd to enact change. And in 2020, a law was signed allowing emergency vehicles to utilize the high-low siren to notify the public of an immediate evacuation. After a robust public outreach campaign, residents of Napa County were now used to the new sound, and law enforcement used the tool to get people out quickly. There's been so many incidents one after another. It's second nature now. The getting through and running of the high-lows, you know, when you first add them, you're like, oh, it was siren, and now that it's it's natural and people are aware. And it's working out well. And Cal-O-Y-S is taking it one step further. Please evacuate the area. Please evacuate the area. Adding the high-low siren with voice command capabilities to all fire chief vehicles and in the near future, all new fire engines put into the California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System will be equipped with the new siren. Cal-O-Y-S continues to make investments in technology to keep people safe. That includes adding the high-low siren with voice capability to all of our new fire apparatus. This allows firefighters to alert people when it's time to evacuate. And Napa County has begun using the same voice command feature to reach even more people than they could before. We're able to, you know, leverage technology and have recordings on it. So it's not just the high-low but a loud voice in multiple languages with instructions of what the high-low, why it's being used in a very loud speaker system. So, you know, the technology just gets better and we'll try to leverage that to our advantage to get people evacuated.
