MUNDY TWP FD ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRAINING
On November 2nd, 2025, our firefighters got to do a specialized training with Scott McCloud on the technology and extrication procedures for patient rescue on a 2025 Ford Mach E SUV. We certainly learned a lot about the new hardened steel used on the vehicles, the 12 airbags in the new car, new vehicle fire blanket, how our tools shatter the new material that makes up the cars frame and body panels, and much more. We then got to cut, spread, break and expand different parts of the car like we would for extrication. The class was very informative and very much appreciated. We also got to try out a new tool that is available for purchase that is like a massive undercarriage water sprinkler to try and to keep the Electric Vehicle batteries cool called the Turtle Fire System. Thank you to Ford Motor Company, and Scott McCloud.
