Please enable Waze for Emergency Responders. I am a Firefighter for the US Forest and use Waze for navigation I am currently working around the Caldor Fire at Lake Tahoe along with 4000 other Firefighters from across the country With closed roads blocking us from using Waze we are forced to use paper maps to get around I find this on every wildfire that I work on in unfamiliar areas. Please make a toggle for us to find our way around. I’m required to drive nationwide in areas that might be closed to public during emergencies.

I would like to suggest the inclusion of a 'fire on the road' notification in the wheather alert.
In this time of the year is a very comon event in Brazil, and will help the user to be more careful during trip and aviod some accidents. Thanks!

Add new category of danger on road - fire

Please add Fire as a road hazard. This is not only a traffic hazard but a safety hazard. Letting drivers know that there is a roadside fire will allow them to seek an alternate route before they are stuck in a traffic jam or worse, getting in first responders way.

I think there should be, in the danger signs, the possibility of saying or informing that there is a fire along the road. Yesterday this happened to me, and I tried to signal that the danger was fire, but I had to say it was an accident because I didn't have a more viable option.

hello, with great urgency the waze application, you must place units of the fire department and fire situation that prevents the free transit of vehicles, hopefully they can soon place those notices. Thank you

Great idea. purpleAir has real-time AQI sensor data that can be used in urban areas, at least (e.g. Bay Area) to re-route traffic away from high smoke areas. I hope Waze would be willing to partner with purpleAir (no affiliation)

During the summer months caravaners and camper vans take to the road causing accident after accident and usually ending up alight or in pieces across six lanes of a motorway. It would be great to warn others of the 6 hour delays while the road is cleared

In CA we passed an active brush fire last week but no way to warn other drivers.

100% - needs to happen soon. Drove through many hazard reduction burns today, would have been great to be able to help. Needs to have a wide alert radius if possible.

Please Add “Heavy Rain” and “Wildfires”. We are having very frequently these issues in Puerto Rico.

There should be the option to report a fire as a hazard on Waze, whether it be a vehicle fire or just a fire next to the road; most people will end up reporting a vehicle fire as an accident which isn't accurate

Wildfires are a major problem in South Africa given the large amounts of grass along the major routes. Would be good to be able to select this option as the smoke usually drifts across and reduces visibility on the road ahead.

Since I live in Southern California, you can add the weather alert warning tab for windy/gusty condition and wild/brush fire.

Add "Field Fire" to the available Hazards for us to select and inform our fellow Wazers

I believe that after the fires up north and the enormous loss of life because people and authorities were unable to communicate which routes were open to escape- waze has a MORAL OBLIGATION to make their platform available to authorities during these situations so people know WHERE TO GO!! if you listen to the 911 calls which people looking to know: where are the fires? where should I go? which roads are open? which roads should I take? where are the fires? your platform is ready built and people already know how to operate it. you know how to do this... so do it... if you had done this, you could have saved lives. do it. now.

Not sure if automatic reporting to the emergency services is possible everywhere in the world, but at least having a popup containing all the needed information (gps coords, road you're on, distance to nearest town or nearest intersection with another road) would be useful.

since we have a fire over 128,000 acres burning that would be nice right now!!

Under weather alerts, the option to put smoke over the road, I have come across heavy smoke a few times now

For local emergencies, allow people to submit emergency/damage reports - fires, flooded roads, trees down, snowfall, etc. Provide this info to the public/public safety officials for observations and reports.
