In an effort to properly educate first responders about alternative fuel vehicle safety, the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC) offers first responder safety training. This training equips first responders with the knowledge they need to confront a growing number of automotive accidents involving AFVs.
Alternative fuel vehicles are different than conventional vehicles and it is critical that first responders be properly trained to deal with accidents involving these vehicles.

“It is important for our firefighters to know how to identify the type of fuel or propulsion system a vehicle may have in order to take the right steps in an emergency situation. We have encountered a situation involving an alternative fuel vehicle where an explosion occurred while crews were on the scene. It was very fortunate that no one was seriously hurt as the tanks and debris were found good distances away. This proves that there is much to be learned about types of vehicles. While gathering information on this incident, I stayed in contact with the NAFTC and they were more than willing to share information with me along with giving me advice to what questions needed to be asked. The NAFTC is a great resource for information and a great partner to the fire service.”
