I have pesonally trained our local FD on the Prius- this was when the gen 1 first appeared- and they were 'leary' to say the least. But after the information was presented and all were informed they felt much more comfortable with that type scenerio. There are so many fail-safe implementations on the Prius that the actual occurance of 'electrification of the body' is practically nil. No occurance to date that I'm aware of. <br />Hybrids are no safer or deadly than a diesel locomotive- the same potential is there with both modes of transportation. How many stories have you heard of loco techs getting 'bit' by their vehicles? There may be some but compare that to the sheer volume of locos vs. hybrids. <br />Also, on Toyo's pro-active nature- they (at or near the release of gen 1) requested of their Prius selling dealers to have the hybrid certified tech to become involved with their community/regional responders to get the info out. Emergency response information on the Prius is also available to anyone via web or dealer. <br />As with any new technology, information and familiarization are key- and Toyo has been upfront and proactive in this.
