  • Carol 4/30/07: "I am a First responder with a rescue squad and we are have difficulty getting manufacturers to get specifics of their vehicles to groups who need to make the rescues. We are VERY reluctant to work on hybrids in crashes. They can be lethal to the rescuers. How can we get them to be more cooperative? I'd love a hybrid, but not until their is more cooperation with the rescurer groups."
