I was looking at Jester's new rig in the Humor Hole and it started me thinking.

I heard a story a few months ago saying that fire departments were having to take extra training in extracting people from electric hybrid cars after some firefighters were seriously injured using the jaws of life. Apparently the car frame got charged and they went to cut some one out and got electrocuoted (sp?). I wonder if the car took a swim off the ramp if you would have an instant fish fry. I would doubt it barring damage to the car and battery but was wondering.

Any Firefighters ever get the training on extracting from electric hybrids have any thoughts (Florida firefighter maybe?)
