Free First Responder Safety Training for Alternative Fuel Vehicles

November 5, 2013

Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs) present a new set of concerns for first responders. Join us for an informational and hands-on safety training session on electric vehicles and gaseous fuels. Learn about gaseous fueling stations, station safety systems, how to assess a hybrid electric vehicle, propane vehicle, or natural gas vehicle accident scene, and much more! This training session is aimed to prepare first responders with the knowledge they need to approach automotive accidents involving AFVs safely. Each class is a one day 8 hour course - the first half of the day in the classroom and the second half of the day working directly with the vehicles. Classes offered: This training is supported by the US Department of Energy Carolina Blue Skies & Green Jobs Initiative. Training will be provided by the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium and the curriculum has been approved by the US Department of Energy's Clean Cities Program.  For more information about these free safety training classes or to register, please contact Jenn Taraskiewicz at [email protected] or 803-737-8037 or go to http://www.palmettocleanfuels.org/files/FirstResponder_RegForm.pdf.
