Fall River, MA - Members of Engine 9 and Ladder 4 recently reviewed the use of the Emergency Plug, a specialized tool used during incidents involving electric and hybrid vehicles.
The device serves as an important safety measure by placing compatible vehicles into a charging state, which helps prevent the vehicle from being shifted into gear and reduces the risk of unintended movement during emergency operations.
Ongoing training with evolving vehicle technology ensures firefighters remain prepared to operate safely and effectively as modern hazards continue to change.
