Kaytes Ford sponsors firefighter training

Warwick - Members of the Warwick, Chester and Greenwood Lake fire departments participated in a drill sponsored by Leo Kaytes Ford about the new hybrid vehicles on Feb. 13. The purpose of the drill was to educate emergency workers about the dangers involved when a hybrid vehicle has been involved in a crash. As these vehicles grow in popularity, so do the hazards that face emergency workers in the event of an accident. The main power source of a hybrid vehicle is high voltage electricity; therefore firefighters and other rescue personnel must be aware of the possibility of electrocution. The drill was organized and instructed by Service Manager John Hewitt, Master Technician Dan Gerne and Sales Manager Leslie Culkin of Leo Kaytes Ford in Warwick.
