Resort Bear Creek FD and Dave Kring Chevrolet Host Electric Vehicle (EV) Training

Thank you to Dave Kring Chevrolet and North Central Michigan College for helping us host another excellent electric vehicle (EV) training for our local fire departments.

Electric vehicles can pose a threat because they run on high-voltage lithium ion batteries, which can result in dangerously high temperatures if these cars catch fire. Since it is a relatively new technology, and standards across EV manufacturers don't really exist, firefighters need to stay up-to-date on extrication and fire suppression tactics.
