Product Overview

The Brimstone Electrical Vehicle (EV) Fire Suppressor Blanket is designed to contain the intense blaze and toxic gases emitted from EV fires. Manufactured in the USA and subjected to extensive third-party testing, this blanket is ideal for storing on your premises for use by the Fire Rescue Service should an EV fire break out. The blanket can also be used to shield surrounding vehicles to prevent them from catching fire and can be deployed over the affected vehicle once the blaze has subsided to prevent reignition during transportation or while in storage.

  • Suitable for use on all types of vehicles - EV, petrol, diesel, and hybrid
  • Simple deployment, the instructions for use are detailed on the carry bag
  • Quick access zipped bag, easy unrolling with deployment straps
  • Durable handles and telescopic poles protect the user during deployment and maintain distance from the fire
  • Large blanket size covers the vehicle and the excess allows for a proper seal at the base
  • Supplied with Kevlar cinch (strap) which secures the blanket to the vehicle in windy conditions or during transport
  • Ultra lightweight material with a special lab-formulated coating on both sides
  • Blanket is single use - this is due to the build up of toxic emissions discharged onto the material as a result of an EV fire
  • Two extension poles included for taller vehicles supplied with XL kit only
  • Manufactured in the USA and extensively third-party tested

Please note: We do not advocate the use of this blanket by the general public. Its deployment would be done by the FRS who would be in full protective gear. If you are considering having an EV Fire Blanket at your premises, we would advise you to notify your local fire service about its location so they can assess the risk and applicability.

FAQs (4)
Q. Do lithium-ion batteries explode?
A.

Yes, they can explode! Lithium-ion batteries can explode due to a chain reaction call thermal runaway. This occurs when the battery rapidly increases in temperature, usually from overcharging, exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture, or damage to the cells. Once thermal runaway begins, it will cause an internal fire in the casing which causes a build-up of toxic gases. The pressure eventually causes an explosive reaction.

Generally, lithium-ion batteries are safe to use and charge regularly, as long as they are not damaged, overcharged, or defective.

Q. How do lithium-ion batteries work?
A.

Lithium-ion batteries work by moving lithium-ions between the negative side (Anode) and positive side (Cathode), which creates an electrical current. When charging, lithium-ions move from the cathode to the anode and whilst discharging it is opposite. When the lithium-ions move during a discharge, an electrical current is created and this is what powers the device.

Q. How do you stop a lithium-ion fire?
A.

Stopping a lithium-ion fire is almost impossible due to the ferocity and unpredictable nature of these types of fires. Instead of stopping a fire, it is recommended that preventative measures are taken to ensure that a fire doesn't start. Fireproof charging and storage cabinets are an ideal solution for ensuring that all lithium-ion batteries can be charged and stored safely, even if a fire broke out. These cabinets are designed to contain the fire inside, preventing it from spreading externally.

General advice from the Fire & Rescue Service is to evacuate and get to a place of safety in the event of a lithium-ion fire. Once at a place of safety, call the emergency services and do not attempt to tackle the fire.

Q. What is the difference between a lithium battery and a lithium-ion battery?
A.

Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable whereas lithium batteries are not. Lithium batteries are more commonly found in products that require long-term, low-power use such as smoke detectors. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly found in items that require recharging frequently such as mobile phones and laptops. Lithium batteries are made up of pure lithium metal, whereas lithium-ion batteries are made up of active materials, such as lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), and do not contain pure lithium metal.
