New Jersey EVA and EZ Ride are pleased to offer an EV awareness program for first responders in the State. This program is particularly suitable for firefighters and aims to increase awareness of EV-specific safety procedures for first responders deployed to a scene involving electric vehicle collisions. It comprises one hour of in-class presentation by an NJ-certified firefighter, NJIT Adjunct Professor, and subject matter expert on energy storage, followed by 1.5 hrs of hands-on inspections of various plug-in electric vehicles.
The presentation agenda covers:
- General Intro to EVs
- Size Up / Initial Response
- Extraction
- Fire Suppression
- Use of Emergency Response Guides on multiple on-site EVs (no turnout gear needed)
This program earns 15 points for the Sustainable Jersey EV-friendly town category.
EV owners are not expected to attend the classroom presentation and can arrive at 7:45 PM. All EVs will be parked inside of the Firehouse.
