1. SAFETY
1.1. PERSONAL SAFETY
Wear fire-resistant clothing, gloves, etc. to avoid injury when using the fire blanket. These instructions are provided as a guide only.
Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer's service instructions, or a proprietary manual, to establish the current procedure and data.
Inspect the fire blanket for damage before use. IMPORTANT: Once in position, the blanket should not be removed until emergency
services have assessed the situation.
1.2. OXYGEN DEPRIVATION
EV fire blankets work by cutting off the oxygen supply to the fire, which starves the fire of the oxygen it needs to continue burning. This
helps to rapidly extinguish the fire and prevent it from spreading.
NOTE: In electric vehicles, even without oxygen the lithium battery will continue burning. We therefore recommend that a fire blanket
be kept on the tow truck when transporting electric vehicles.
1.3. QUICK RESPONSE
EV fire blankets are designed to be quickly deployed in the event of a fire, allowing for rapid containment and extinguishing of the fire.
1.4. REUSABLE
Please note the EV500 is for single-use only. The EV1000 can be reused up to 5 times if the blanket has been closely inspected and
fabric is not compromised.
2. INTRODUCTION
Fire safety blanket for use on electric, hybrid, petrol and diesel vehicles. Designed for quick deployment on any vehicle as an effective
method to contain flames, smoke and toxic fumes. Suitable for isolating and extinguishing high temperature fires produced from EV
car batteries. Effectively starves oxygen to control self-oxygenating EV battery fires and prevents damage of thermal runaway and
toxic fumes. Manufactured from high performance materials to withstand direct continuous temperatures. Ideal for areas with high
concentrations of cars such as car parks, garages, ferries, breakdown situations and controls risk of damage to surrounding infrastructure
and other vehicles. Supplied in durable waterproof storage bag with straps for easy transportation and storage.
