The navigation apps will alert people of emergencies.
Carlow Fire Service is adopting a technology that will link in with navigation apps to warn drivers about emergencies.
Safety Cloud allows fire officers to add an icon and a text warning to applications like Waze and Apple Maps.
Firefighters say it will give people passing by more time to react or change their route.
It's also hoped Safety Cloud will help protect emergency workers as they attend the scene of a crash.
