  1. when a hybrid is involved in an accident, my department puts a cone on each side of the vehicle and 1 on top, so it signifies that it is a hybrid for those who arrive on scene. we were told never to stand in front or behind the car until we know for sure that the entire car is off, gas and electric. we do not extricate or touch the car (even if pt is in serious condition) until we know the power of the car is completely off and that it is safe to continue what we need to do.

    I've never actually been to a scene with a hybrid involved in an accident, but I have been told that it may take several minutes for the car to completely power down. Does anyone know how long it takes and is it different for each car? Would it take longer to shut down if the car has been on longer?

    WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you kidding me Rob when you get to the fd sunday we gotta talk lol


  2. Uniform Training Standards

    All Firefighters entering the Fire Service in Putnam County after August 1,2002 must comply with the following training standards:

    To receive an Interior Firefighter Accountability Tag, Departments will certify via Interior Firefighter Form that subjects have successfully completed the Basic Firefighter Course,(#91) the Intermediate Firefighter Course (#92) and Firefighter Survival (#87) .

    Above is the Putnam County Standard for an Interior Firefighter. After that we are issued a County accountability tag that is to be handed in where ever we go mutual aid.If you don't have the tag you can't go mutual aid.

    Not every dept. in putnam has a "PUTNAM COUNTY TAG" but we still go mutual aid
