On July 15th, 2022 firefighters from Garfield County attended a training put on by Next Level Extrication at the Colorado River Fire Rescue training grounds. The morning was spent going over electric vehicle fires and extrication and the risks involved with mitigation of those problems and how to do so safely. The afternoon was hands-on with crews practicing different techniques and tools on vehicle fires to help demonstrate what would be done on an electric vehicle. Firefighters from Colorado River Fire Rescue, Glenwood Springs Fire Department, and CDOT Hanging Lake Tunnels Emergency Services attended. The content presented by NLE is backed by hours of research conducted by various organizations including UL Fire Safety Research Institute.
