Alternative-fueled vehicles (AFV) represent different types of hazards compared with vehicles with traditional fuel such as gasoline and diesel with internal combustion engines. Do our usual methods, equipment, and training work, or do we need to do something more to be safe?

Hands-on firefighting training on AFV shall empower all relevant personnel to act in the case of fire, making sure that crew actions are supported by sufficient competence.

The Lash Fire project is proud to present a series of training videos for effective manual AFV firefighting. First out is an introductory video sets the context for the five following videos that will address these topics:
- Fire team protection,
- Manual firefighting, electric cars,
- First Response,
- Post-fire stage, and
- Manual firefighting, gas vehicles.

Keep up-to-date on the latest research around manual firefighting with the LASH FIRE instructional videos.
