VEHICLE FIRE BLANKET
Are you Prepared to combat a Vehicle Fire?
Vehicle Fires are on the rise across the World. Vehicle Fires are difficult to contain, release toxins and carcinogens in the air and ground, and can take massive amounts of water to extinguish

Thermal runaway fires cannot be extinguished by conventional means.
EV Fires are a worry for firefighters’, there worries have to do with the batteries that operate electric vehicles—they’re extremely high-voltage and can generate temperatures of 4,900 – 5,000 degrees F when they burn.
Getting flame of such extreme temperatures under control is no easy task, not only do they burn hotter, electric vehicles can also reignite up to a month later due to “stranded energy” in the lithium ion battery.
The most common form of fire in electric or hybrid vehicles is when the high energy battery is damaged, or a manufacturing fault causes the battery to go into “Thermal Runaway”. This is when a cell short circuits and the heat generated starts a fire. This, in turn, creates a “domino effect” and the fire spreads from cell to cell.
Every EV Owner, Fire Department, Parking Operator, Charging Station, Ferry, Tow Company, First Responder, Hotel, Mechanic and more should have easy access to a EV Fire Blanket, the Fire Cloak USA EV Fire Blanket is simple to deploy and can be used by anyone.
