The market of vehicles that use alternative types of fuel as propulsion energy has experienced a significant increase in recent years. This increase is caused by the increasing environmental awareness among people as well as the need to reduce the emission of harmful gases that are a byproduct of burning fossil fuels. The increasing use of electric, hybrid and hydrogen vehicles in everyday life brings numerous advantages, but also creates new challenges for emergency services. Any vehicle that uses an alternative type of fuel as a means of propulsion requires a special approach during interventions to rescue victims. The dangers posed by alternative fuel vehicles are significantly different from those that use conventional fuels (gasoline, oil) as a means of propulsion. With electric and hybrid vehicles, the risk of electric shock is significantly increased if the prescribed procedures are not followed, while with hydrogen vehicles, the risk of explosion caused by the storage of hydrogen in high-pressure tanks is increased. Protection measures during interventions involving alternative fuel vehicles include specialized education, training, equipment and compliance with the emergency guides prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer for each vehicle model. In the emergency guide, the vehicle manufacturer describes exactly the actions that need to be taken in order, for example, to switch off the high-voltage part of the vehicle in an electrically powered vehicle, and to safely rescue the injured persons from the vehicle. Therefore, developing the habit of using emergency guides is very important, as is the timely identification of alternative fuel vehicles, all with the aim of increasing the safety of emergency personnel and injured persons.
