Why EV Fire Blankets Are Essential
When an electric vehicle (EV) catches fire, the lithium-ion battery burns at extremely high temperatures and can reignite. Using an EV fire blanket is one of the most effective ways to cut off oxygen, slow the fire, and protect lives while waiting for firefighters.
🔥 Step-by-Step Guide to Using an EV Fire Blanket
1. Stay Calm & Prioritize Safety
Pull over to a safe location and evacuate all passengers immediately.
2. Retrieve the EV Fire Blanket
Get the blanket from its storage case. It is designed to be compact and easy to access for quick response.
3. Approach From the Opposite Wind Direction
Smoke from battery fires can be toxic. Always approach from upwind to avoid inhaling dangerous fumes.
4. Cover the Entire Vehicle
Fully unfold and drape the blanket over the EV, covering the battery area, engine, and tires. Ensure all sides are sealed.
5. Leave the Blanket in Place
Do not remove the blanket. It is designed to suffocate flames and contain toxic smoke until firefighters arrive.
6. Never Use Water or Regular Extinguishers
Lithium battery fires react violently with water. Only use specially designed fire blankets for EVs.
7. Call Fire & Rescue Immediately
Even if the fire appears under control, professional assistance is still required to ensure complete safety.
