Tesla had a really good set of videos on how to respond to emergencies involving electric vehicles. They obviously showed it on a Tesla but I thought it was really well made in that they talked about other designs and what will be in common and what won’t. I am not a first responder so there is little direct reason for me to know this but I spent several hours watching the videos anyways simply because they were so interesting and so well made. Similarly, I really liked the video from an ER doctor who races motorcycles about responding to motorcycle crashes. Highly recommend learning more about this as you very well might be the first person there and the dangers are non-obvious. And of course I highly recommend taking a CPR course and carrying a first aid kit, including a mouth to mouth membrane, with you in your vehicle. You never know when you’ll be in a position to save a life.

The guy in the motorcycle video is just an all around fun presenter! Good recommendation. edit: Seems as though Dr. Hinds is no longer with us. Accident while providing medical care at an event. Damn. Gotta say that's a commendable and badass way to go.

I've saved a couple of lives before. I resuscitated one guy's breathing after he'd choked on his own vomit behind a speaker at an open air concert. I only saw him because I like to stand behind the speakers where it isn't as loud. It sure was nasty having to give mouth to mouth without a membrane, but the lifesaving training[0] I did as a kid didn't even mention them. Anyway, I got the guy breathing and instructed others to get the medics and got some antiseptic for my hands, since I had to remove the vomit from his mouth with them, but unfortunately there was no mouthwash available. I'd do it again, but if there is any story out there for you to realize the benefit of mouth to mouth membranes this is it. [0] Did up to bronze cross but I failed one of the swimming tests because I accidentally did the racing version of a stroke instead of the life saving version. It's hard to unlearn things that were hammered into you in a sports mindset.
