TUF EV (Every Vehicle) Fire Training System
A comprehensive change in approach to ALL automotive incidents.
Firefighters don't get to choose the circumstances they respond to. They don't get to pick and choose the hazards. There's no way to tell what kind of vehicles are involved or what situations they're in until they arrive on scene.
Differently propelled versions of the same make and model often look identical from a distance. There are no special markings or signs. The added challenges of darkness, crash damage, distance, and lack of intimate knowledge of individual vehicles involved makes properly identifying BEVs vs HEVs vs FCEVs and ICEVs inconsistent at best.
Regardless of vehicle types involved, the incident needs the same effective stacked interventions to overcome hazards and control the incident. The stacked interventions required on every automotive incident include:
- Site safety, command, and control
- Fire/explosion prevention or extinguishment
- Rescue as needed
- Salvage
- Spill remediation, recovery
What firefighters are left with in a rapidly evolving, growing fire, are exposures. Situations where rapid decision-making mean life and death, or high loss vs low loss. Fire officers must use informed decision-making to apply risk versus benefit analysis and best-practices tactics.
Explosive gases, violent water reaction, jetting flames, rocketing projectiles, flammable liquids and electrolytes under pressure, pressure vessels, sudden launch, hazardous cargo, and traffic hazards are a few common risks at ALL types of vehicle incidents.
As the percentage of electric and hybrid vehicles increases on the roadways, garages, lots, and in collisions, the chances of one or more in every vehicle-based incident grows. Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) firefighting, for example, will no longer be regarded as out-of-the-ordinary within just a few short years.
Firefighters should be able to quickly rule out high loss/high risk vehicle incidents, focus on incident effectiveness and mastery, and practice hazard elimination. Spending hours on scene and thousands of gallons of water with a community's limited resources isn't a consistent solution. Comprehensive educational revision, including operational guidelines addressing the hazards and effective interventions of ALL AUTOMOTIVE INCIDENTS is needed.
The TUF EV (Every Vehicle) Fire Training System helps fire departments adapt to new challenges with systematic change and a safe, best-practices approach to ALL automotive incidents. The TUF EV Fire Training System reduces time on scene and exposure to risk. It takes advantage of the broad-spectrum effectiveness of modern fire attack technologies, proven tools and tactics for consistent outcomes.
