First Responders Safety Training

Alternative fuels have already displaced 2.4 billion gallons of petroleum. All signs point to an even wider implementation of clean fueled vehicles in the near future. To ensure First Responders around the country are prepared, the U.S. Department of Energy Clean Cities Learning Program has produced curricula and training materials on Biofuels and Biofuel Vehicles, Gaseous Fuels and Gaseous Fuel Vehicles, Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles, and Electric Drive Vehicles. Through this program, First Responders will learn about key fuel properties and characteristics (including fuel tanks and delivery systems, safety considerations, and flammability levels), vehicle components, vehicle identification and first responder standard operating procedures.
