与天然气价格持续上升(估计to be at $4 a gallon by summer), coupled with the amount of money invested by car manufacturers in the R&D of Hybrid and Alternative fuel vehicles, it is certain that these vehicles will start to become more mainstream in the near future.

The question now becomes - what is your department doing to address the issue? Do you have SOPs and training in place to educate your firefighters and provide a working knowledge of these vehicles? Are your personnel aware of the dangers they actually present and those they do not?

Let’s utilize this group to bring a better understanding of these vehicles to our fellow emergency responders and flush out any misunderstandings that exist. Please feel free to share any experiences you have had with hybrids and alternative fuel vehicles and what you learned from it. I will be posting information in the near future to assist responders in sorting through the information out there but in the meantime let’s start up a dialog about what everybody’s concerns are and address any questions that are floating around out there.

Stay Safe,

Jason
