How our EV fire blanket works
Step 1: : If you suspect an electric vehicle fire, contact the fire brigade immediately.
Step 2: Position the Fire Cloak centrally in front of the vehicle.
Step 3: Make sure that the Fire Cloak is unfolded and centered fully in front of the electric vehicle.
Step 4: Take hold of the red straps and pull the Fire Cloak over the vehicle making sure to cover the whole vehicle.
Step 5: Once the electric vehicle is fully covered with the Fire Cloak, ensure it is tucked in at either side by pressing down on it with your feet.
Step 6: Immediately retreat to a safe distance – at least 10 metres – and leave the Fire Cloak in place until the fire service are on scene
As we receive more and more orders, we’ve put together a post outlining how to deploy the Fire Cloak Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket in the case of a suspected electric vehicle fire.
From motor dealership groups and car park operators to Premier League football clubs and ferry & shipping companies, the Fire Cloak Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket is fast becoming a familiar sight in a wide variety of locations. Alongside the commercial side of our business, we have a duty and commitment to increasing people’s knowledge and education when it comes to EV fires and how to use an EV fire to best effect.
Designed to be always accessible and easy to deploy, the Fire Cloak Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket is specifically intended to starve any potential EV fire of oxygen and mitigate damage to the immediate vicinity. It is NOT a method of extinguishing an EV fire; that is a job for professional firefighters only.
Because thermal runaway lithium battery fires are self-sustaining and require little or no oxygen to propagate, the blanket will act as a barrier in preventing the spread of fire and limit the escape of smoke and fumes.
As with most items of electric vehicle health & safety equipment, there are several key steps to follow to ensure efficacy. So, read on and find out exactly what to do in the event of an electric vehicle fire and how to deploy the Fire Cloak Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket!
