The present invention is a retractable alert system for emergency vehicles. The alert system is a bar connected by a mechanical hinge to the rear quarter panel of a motor vehicle. When the bar is in a stowed position, it is approximately flush with the rear panel of the motor vehicle. When it is deployed, the bar rotates outwardly via the hinge approximately 90 degrees. The hinge is wired to an electrical motor powered through the car battery. The bar is deployed through actuating an interior button, which is operatively connected to the motor. The bar is further wired to the horn of the motor vehicle, such that displacement of the bar, through contact with another vehicle, causes the horn to sound. The system increases safety of emergency personnel by providing a zone around the emergency vehicle safer from oncoming traffic.
