⚡ NEW CARS. NEW CHALLENGES. Electric and alternative fuel vehicles bring a whole new set of challenges for first responders, including high-strength steel that’s harder to cut, lithium-ion batteries that require careful handling, laminated glass, and a curb weight that can hit 10,000 lbs (twice as heavy as gas vehicles). That’s exactly why we are training for this, alongside our partner agencies. No matter what kind of vehicle is involved, our response is fast, safe, and effective. 📍 calfiresandiego #CALFIRE #AllRisk #EVSafety #ExtricationTraining
