National Fire Fighter Near-Miss Reporting System: Hybrid Extrication

Hybrid vehicles are gaining in popularity among automakers and buyers. Nowadays, all of the major manufacturers now offer a version of a hybrid vehicle. Hybrid technology is being incorporated into all styles from coupes to SUVs. J.D. Power and Associates predicts that hybrid technology vehicles will account for 7 percent of the car market by 2015, which would be a threefold increase. This prediction gives emergency responders a heads up on the likelihood of encountering hybrid vehicles in the future, and incidents like本周的帐户give us a heads up on a special handling tip when the new technology is encountered.

“我的部门回应了两辆汽车碰撞,并受到了两次伤害。除了EMS正在处理的一个操作员外,所有乘员都没有车辆,没有夹带……我们将设备和交通锥定位为创建安全的工作区域。我们还保证,设置了停车制动器,并从所有车辆中卸下了点火钥匙……

其中三辆车辆将其发动机隔间楔入或进入前面车辆,使车辆电池非常困难。随着车辆现在没有空闲,拖车开始到达时,我们随后协助交通管制,安全地将车辆从现场拆除,并开始恢复液体和碎屑。

涉及的车辆之一是[已删除]混合动力。拖车操作员似乎对车辆的系统并不熟悉,并且很难将车辆陷入中立,以将其装载到他的平板上。经过几次尝试,将车辆装载并固定在平板上。然后,拖车操作员开始使用平板上的车轮升降机来拖曳下一辆涉及的车辆。当他们连接第二辆车时,我注意到蒸气来自混合动力的排气……”

首先处理混合动力车辆需要了解技术的工作原理,每辆车中的系统以及这些系统对紧急响应者构成的危害。一旦您阅读了事件的整个帐户(点击这里), consider the following:

1. Most local dealers have hybrid vehicles on the lot. Have you visited a dealer and arranged for a demonstration of the hybrid components?
2. When you respond to a motor vehicle collision, who is responsible for ensuring the vehicles are secured (engines shut off, brakes set, wheels chocked, etc.)?
3. Which vehicle power plant presents more hazards, internal combustion engines or hybrid technology? Explain your answer.
4.平均而言,混合动力汽车中的高压电容器需要流血多长时间?
关闭混合动力汽车可实现四种危害。四个危险是什么?(答案可以在下面的混合车辆安全链接中找到)。
