| Members of Rombout along with members from Slater Chemical, Marlboro, Middlehope & North Highlands Fire Departments attended an in depth seminar on Electric & Alternative Fueled Vehicles for Emergency Responders. The seminar was brought to local responders by John K. Johnson of Fully Involved Training LLC based in Apex, NC.
Mr. Johnson presented the different types of hybrid and electrical vehicles with an overview of the various types of automobiles, school buses, tractors and transit buses, which was followed by ways to identify an electrical vehicle vs. a hybrid vehicle. The safety aspect of proper Lock out- Tag out process was also discussed and demonstrated with vehicles on hand. Mr. Johnson emphasized the hidden dangers of victim extrication with these types of vehicles vs. traditional extrication methods. The hidden dangers of CNG (Compressed Natural Vehicle), LNG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) and possible locations of emergency shut off valves in fleet vehicles were reviewed.
