How it works
Isolate the risk. Protect the surroundings. The Car Standard Fire Blanket is your "break-glass" solution for immediate incident management. Designed for rapid deployment by professionals and onsite staff, it instantly cuts off oxygen to the vehicle, containing flames and blocking toxic smoke. Made with a high-performance pyroxene, Car Standard creates a thermal barrier without the use of water or foam. Its fast and simple deployment makes it an ideal solution for environments where every second counts.

Instant Isolation

Rapidly isolates the fire to prevent spread to nearby vehicles or infrastructure. Essential for high-density areas like parking garages and ferries.

Smoke Containment

Traps toxic fumes and heavy soot immediately. Drastically reduces smoke damage to buildings and ventilation systems during the incident.

Eco friendly

Reduces water dependency and contaminated runoff. A reusable solution designed for up to 10 deployments, minimizing environmental impact.

EV-rated

Certified according to NFPA 701-2019, EN 13501-1 (A1), and more trusted in workshops, parking structures, tunnels, and transport.

Car Standard Fire Blanket FAQ

Find clear answers about how a car fire blanket works, whether it’s suitable for EV fires, and how to deploy the Car Standard fire blanket safely.

Answers for response teams across transport, facilities, and public safety.

 

Can the Standard car fire blanket be used on Electric Vehicles (EVs)?

Yes. While lithium-ion batteries burn at extreme temperatures, the Car Standard Fire Blanket is an effective tool to instantly isolate the vehicle. It prevents the fire from spreading to nearby vehicles and buildings and blocks toxic smoke reducing carcinogen exposure.

What is the difference between Car Standard and Car Pro X?

The Car Standard is reusable for up to 10 times and is made of pyroxene. The Car Pro X is made of graphite and a heavy-duty, reusable blanket engineered for multiple deployments - up to 30 times.

Where should this blanket be installed?

It is ideal for locations with high vehicle density or limited access, such as parking garages, car ferries, workshops, and ships. We recommend placing it in our wheeled cabinet for easy and instant access.

How is the Car Standard fire blanket deployed?

1. Position. Place the fire blanket on the ground in front of or behind the vehicle and roll it out completely.

2. Cover. Two people should grab the handles and pull the blanket over the vehicle in one continuous movement to ensure immediate coverage.

3. Seal. Make sure the blanket creates a tight seal against the ground on all sides to cut off oxygen and trap smoke.

Do not lift the fire blanket after deployment.

The blanket instantly reduces temperature and helps slow down thermal runaway.
Never introduce tools, objects, water, or liquids under the blanket after deployment, as this may break the seal, introduce oxygen, and create an unsafe environment or cause deflagration.
All assessment of the situation shall be conducted only by trained firefighting personnel.

What certifications does the Car Standard fire blanket have?

• NFPA 701-2019
• EN ISO 1182
• EN ISO 1716
• EN 13501-1: Reaction to fire classification A1
• Surface and volume resistivity in accordance 
with ASTM D257
• Temperature performance and reusability assessment at RISE Fire Research AS
