🔥⚡ FIRE BLANKETS: Game-Changer for Electric Vehicle Safety! 🚗🛡️

Breakthrough research reveals how effective fire blankets are specifically for electric vehicle fires! Here's what the science shows:

🚗 EV Fire Protection Research: Recent full-scale experiments demonstrated that fire blankets effectively extinguished flames in electric vehicle fires, and the temperature inside the car gradually decreased when the blanket was deployed. The study recorded maximum temperatures of nearly 920°C during EV battery fires, yet fire blankets successfully controlled these intense fires.

🔋 Why EV Fires Are Different: Electric vehicle battery fires burn extremely hot and can be difficult to extinguish with traditional methods. The lithium-ion batteries can experience thermal runaway, creating intense heat and toxic gases.

🔬 Research Findings: Fire Protection Research Foundation researchers found that fire blanket deployment eliminated flaming by denying oxygen to the vehicle and battery fires. This is crucial because EV fires can reignite hours or even days after being "extinguished" with water.

✅ Why EV Owners Need Fire Blankets:

• Specifically effective against battery fires
• Can handle extreme temperatures (900°C+)
• Eliminates oxygen to prevent reignition
• No water damage to electrical systems
• Safer for first responders

As electric vehicles become more common, having the right fire safety equipment is essential!
