As electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid cars become more popular, battery-related fires are occurring more frequently.
Traditional fire extinguishers such as dry powder or CO₂ types are often limited—they leave residue, are difficult to operate quickly, and may not prevent re-ignition.
In response, a new solution is gaining ground: the Glass Fiber Car Fire Blanket.
Compact, reusable, and easy to deploy, it offers a highly effective alternative for vehicle fire emergencies.
Comparison | Glass Fiber Blanket | Dry Powder Extinguisher | CO₂ Extinguisher |
---|---|---|---|
Ease of Use | Pull and cover instantly | Pressurized, needs aiming | Needs nozzle targeting |
Residue | Clean, no residue | Messy powder | Low residue but cold shock risk |
Reusable | Yes, reusable | No, one-time use | No, one-time use |
Inspection Required | No | Yes | Yes |
Coverage Area | Can fully cover vehicles | Spot spray | Spot spray |
Re-Ignition Protection | Yes, oxygen isolation | Partially effective | Partially effective |
In an underground EV charging facility in Norway, a thermal runaway incident was controlled using a 6m x 8m high-silica fire blanket.
The blanket was deployed in under 15 seconds, covering the vehicle and preventing spread to nearby cars.
A German EV owner noticed smoke from the hood, pulled out a fire blanket from the trunk, and successfully isolated the fire before it spread,
allowing professional rescue to arrive safely.
As lithium battery usage increases, traditional extinguishers may no longer be sufficient—especially in confined or high-risk environments.
The glass fiber fire blanket offers a clean, fast, and reusable solution for EV fires, providing precious response time.
Adding one to your car, garage, or charging area is a simple step toward a safer future.
