1. A system for providing digital alerts associated with emergency siren activations, the system comprising:
a smart siren device associated with an emergency vehicle, the smart siren device comprising a set of speakers and a siren controller device, the siren controller device comprising:
a network device;
a processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory comprising computer-readable instructions configured to, with the processor, implement a digital alert manager, to cause the processor to:
detect a change of an activation state of the smart siren device from a de-activated state to an activated state, wherein the smart siren device emits a set of sounds associated with a selected audible alert type when the smart siren device is in the activated state;
generate a notification identifying a current location of the emergency vehicle responsive to detecting the change in the activation state of the smart siren device, the notification comprising notification data including the current location of the emergency vehicle;
provide the notification to a remote computing device via the network device responsive to a determination the emergency vehicle is in motion, wherein the notification is withheld in response to a determination that the emergency vehicle is stationary; and
provide a digital alert on a user interface device associated with a recipient vehicle within a predetermined range of the emergency vehicle using the notification data, the digital alert comprising the current location of the emergency vehicle.
