What Are the Benefits of a Car Fire Blanket?

One of its key advantages is its versatility across different fuel types, including petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric vehicles. Specifically designed to handle lithium-ion battery fires, it plays a crucial role in mitigating risks such as thermal runaway and containing hazardous fumes. Endorsed by the Department for Transport for recovery operators, this specialised blanket ensures safety during breakdowns or accidents involving electric or hybrid cars.

Moreover, it's indispensable in various locations such as car parks, road tunnels, petrol stations, charging stations, repair facilities, and even on car ferries. Packaged in a large red bag with clear labelling and crafted with shoulder straps for easy transport, it's readily accessible during emergencies. Manufactured for Vigil Products, this fire blanket is reliable for local firefighters in addressing fire emergencies effectively.

How To Use Car Fire Blankets

Deploying the car fire blanket is a straightforward process. Simply extract it from its bag and unfurl the sizeable 6m x 8m blanket at a safe distance from the vehicle. With a person on either side of the vehicle, drape it over the car in one smooth motion, ensuring coverage over the fire source while being mindful of toxic fumes, especially in EV fires. Tuck the edges around the vehicle to secure the edges, and leave it in place until the local fire brigade confirms it is safe for removal. Though the blanket won't extinguish flames, its design helps in minimising spread and reducing toxic emissions.

After deployment, it's important to dispose of and replace the fire blanket responsibly. By considering a Lithium Battery Fire Blanket into your safety protocols, you're enhancing safety and will be prepared in advance of emergencies involving fires and vehicles.
