Draping the Car Fire Blanket over an electric battery vehicle in thermal runaway prevents flames spreading to nearby vehicles and buildings. Stopping oxygen getting to the fire, the blanket controls any flames, enabling people to move to safety. Easy to deploy by trained personnel when smoke first develops. The single use fire blanket measures 6 metres wide, ensuring users can keep a safe distance from the fire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eRecommended by Safelincs for use by trained personnel only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eIdeal for parking lots, charging stations, garages, dealerships, and ferries\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eMade for electric vehicles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eSupplied in a waterproof carry bag with handle, shoulder straps, and two pairs of heavy duty fire-resistant gloves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eAt 30kg in total weight, the blanket can be carried like a rucksack\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003ePyroxene core weave with silicon polymer coating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eDesigned for single use only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eDimensions (deployed): 6 x 8m (48m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eLarge enough for SUVs like the Volvo XC90 and Land Rover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note: \u003c\/strong\u003eUser safety must always be a priority.

Hazards include flames, heat, smoke, toxic fumes, explosive gasses, and ejected materials. The advent of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles can makes these hazards even more unpredictable. Traditional vehicle fires often start and then grow quickly to engulf the vehicle. Electric vehicles with batteries in thermal runaway (meaning there \u003cstrong\u003ewill\u003c\/strong\u003e be a fire) often emit fumes and smoke first, appearing for some time to be relatively dormant and so giving an impression of relative safety. It is impossible to be entirely certain how any given situation will develop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eThese fire blankets are designed and intended to protect neighbouring vehicles and structures from much of the heat generated by a burning car, the goal being to prevent a catastrophic spread of the fire that may destroy entire buildings or cost lives. This means that a balance must be struck between the risks to the persons deploying the CFB (it is a task for at least two people) and the potential consequences of not acting. The speed with which vehicle fire hazards can develop will rarely allow time for a detailed risk assessment of the scenario.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeploying the Single Use Car Fire Blanket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you choose to deploy the Car Fire Blanket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eBefore you deploy, be aware that the CFB is packed so as to be easiest to deploy when approaching the front\/rear of the vehicle since this is the most common scenario. When removed from its bag, the CFB is first unrolled to a width of 6 metres, then unfolded to its length of 8 metres. This is to mirror the rough proportions of any vehicle - longer than it is wide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003col\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003ePlace the fire blanket on the ground in front or behind the car and roll it out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eTwo people should grab their handle and safely pull the fire blanket over the car in one continuous movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eMake sure the fire blanket is tight all the way to ground.
