A traffic control system includes a vertically and horizontally disposed pole. The vertically disposed pole has a lower end mounted to a ground surface while an upper end mounts the horizontally disposed pole at a right angle. The horizontally disposed pole extends out over a vehicular roadway and, at least a pair of signal assemblies are mounted to the horizontally disposed pole for controlling vehicular traffic which may pass by an emergency vehicle rescue station. The signal assemblies illuminate a light bulb signal sequence upon activation by a programmable central control panel and instruct vehicular traffic to stop. A receive and antenna receive a wireless signal sent from a remote location within the rescue station. A pair of verification lights mount on the traffic control system and directed towards the rescue station provide a means for indicating to emergency vehicle operators that the illumination sequence is operating properly and that all light bulbs in the signal assembly are illuminating.

The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said alarm circuit generates at least two alarm patterns, a first alarm pattern characteristic of said first hazardous condition and a second alarm pattern characteristic of said second hazardous condition, wherein said voice synthesizer circuit generates at least two voice messages, a first voice message characteristic of said first hazardous condition and a second voice message characteristic of said second hazardous condition, and wherein said interleaving control circuit generates a hazardous condition selection signal to select one of said first alarm pattern and said second alarm pattern, and to select one of said first voice message and said second voice message. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said alarm circuit generates a third alarm pattern characteristic of the presence of both said first and said second hazardous conditions, wherein said voice synthesizer circuit generates a third voice message characteristic of the presence of both said first and said second hazardous conditions, and wherein said interleaving control circuit generates said hazardous condition selection signal to select one of said first alarm pattern, said second alarm pattern, and said third alarm pattern, and to select one of said first voice message, said second voice message, and said third voice message. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said voice synthesizer circuit generates at least said first voice message in at least two languages. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, further comprising a language selection input allowing a user to select one of said at least two languages for said first voice message. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first and said second detection circuits is capable of distinguishing levels of said hazardous conditions, said at least one of said first and said second detection circuit producing a level condition output signal in response thereto; and wherein said alarm circuit is responsive to said level condition output signal for generating at least a second alarm pattern; and wherein said voice synthesizer circuit is responsive to said level condition output signal for generating at least a second voice message; and wherein said interleaving control circuit causes said enunciation circuit to selectively broadcast at least said second alarm pattern and said second voice message. 14. A method for the detection and enunciation of hazardous condition within an environment, comprising the steps of: sensing ambient conditions within the environment to detect at least a first and a second hazardous condition; generating at least a first alarm pattern and at least a first voice message in response to sensing at least one of the first hazardous condition and the second hazardous condition; interleaving said first alarm pattern and said first voice message; and enunciating said interleaved first alarm pattern and first voice message in response to sensing at least one of the first hazardous condition and the second hazardous condition; generating at least a second alarm pattern and a second voice message in response to sensing at least one of the first hazardous condition and the second hazardous condition, the second alarm pattern and the second voice message being characteristic of the second hazardous condition, and the first alarm pattern and the first voice message being characteristic of the first hazardous condition; and interleaving said second alarm pattern and said second voice message; and enunciating said interleaved second
