HOW TO DEPLOY THE FIRE BLANKET？

• A minimum of two people should deploy the fire blanket.
• Always use proper firefighting gear including a breathing apparatus.
• Roll out the fire blanket and center it before it is deployed.

Make sure to use the side without sewing seam to cover the on-fire car, see the below photo.

• Both persons should grab each handle, tighten the fire blanket and then safely pull it over the car in one continuous movement.
• Always center the fire blanket after covering the car.
• Make sure the fire blanket covers all the way to the ground and there is no opening to prevent air from entering.

HOW LONG THE FIRE BLANKET NEEDS TO COVER AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

• Thermal propagation (known as a thermal runaway) produces its own oxygen and is hard to stop with traditional tools.
• It should be noted that EV battery fires are self-oxygenating so a fire blanket can only help control the fire, it may not fully extinguish it. The car fire blanket, once deployed, should not be removed until trained fire fighting personnel have fully assessed the situation. Call 995
