An electric car fire is one of the most challenging and dangerous scenarios faced by emergency responders, workshops, parking facilities, logistics centers, and public infrastructures. Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway generates extremely high temperatures, toxic gas emissions, violent flame bursts and the possibility of reignition hours or even days later.
In this context, a fire blanket for electric car fire containment has become the fastest, safest, and most effective solution to control the incident and prevent fire spread, especially in enclosed environments.
At ISK Fire Survival, we design and manufacture professional-grade fire blankets specifically engineered to contain electric vehicle (EV) fires, providing certified, high-resistance, easy-to-deploy protection for critical situations.
Why a Fire Blanket Is Essential for an Electric Car Fire
Electric car fires behave very differently from conventional vehicle fires due to the characteristics of lithium-ion batteries:
- Temperatures exceeding 1,000°C caused by thermal runaway
- High risk of reignition, even after initial suppression
- Toxic and flammable gas emissions, especially dangerous in enclosed spaces
- Difficulty extinguishing the battery with traditional suppression methods
A professional fire blanket acts as a full containment system, quickly reducing the spread, intensity, and collateral impact of an electric car fire.
How the ISK Fire Blanket Works During an Electric Car Fire
The ISK fire blanket is made from multi-layer, high-temperature-resistant fabrics capable of maintaining integrity under extreme fire exposure.
Its operation is simple, fast, and highly effective:
- The blanket is deployed over the burning electric car, fully covering the vehicle.
- It limits oxygen availability, reducing flame intensity.
- It contains sparks, debris, and burning battery fragments produced during thermal runaway.
- It prevents fire from spreading to nearby vehicles, equipment, or structures.
- It creates a safer environment for firefighters and technicians while the vehicle cools down.
While the blanket does not stop battery thermal runaway entirely (which requires specialized cooling), it provides controlled, safe containment, making it the most effective first-response tool available today.
Advantages of the ISK Fire Blanket for Electric Car Fires
- Fast and simple deployment by one or two operators
- Safe to use in indoor environments such as parking garages and workshops
- Prevents secondary damage to infrastructure or surrounding assets
- Contains fire, smoke, toxic gases, and burning materials
- Ideal for EV transport, including tow trucks, ferries, and logistics vehicles
- Significant reduction of overall incident and repair costs
Any location that stores, services, charges, or transports electric vehicles should have a professional fire blanket available.
Recommended Applications
The ISK electric car fire blanket is essential for:
- Parking garages (public and private)
- EV repair shops and dealerships
- Logistics and vehicle storage facilities
- Rental and fleet operators
- Charging stations
- Tunnels, ferries, and enclosed transport areas
- Fire departments and first responders
Wherever an electric car fire can occur, a fire blanket becomes an indispensable safety tool.
