Fire Blankets
Lithium Fire Blanket
An essential tool for isolating lithium-ion battery fires. Designed for car manufacturers, workshops, recycling stations, manufacturing, and more this heavy-duty fire blanket is engineered to cover open battery packs, e-mobility devices, and hazardous modules.
7-Layer Isolation
Built with as a complex 7-layer solution, this multi-layer barrier stops heat transfer far more effectively than single-layer alternatives.
Extreme Heat Shield
Withstands temperatures up to 1600°C (2912°F). The Bridgehill Lithium Fire Blanket blocks intense the intense heat that would melt standard fiberglass instantly.
Preventive Use
Secure exposed battery packs during storage, transport, or unattended work. A proactive barrier that neutralizes fire risk before an incident even occurs.
First Layer Defense
Deployed directly over the object as the initial containment layer. Reduces spread while responders coordinate the next step.
Recommended second-layer blankets
Bridgehill® Car Standard provides fast and effective fire containment for electric and combustion engine vehicles. Designed for first responders and safety professionals, it blocks flames, isolates toxic smoke, and requires no water. Lightweight, easy to deploy, and certified for high-temperature performance, it is the trusted solution for parking garages, workshops, tunnels, and charging stations.
Equipped with eyelets at one-meter intervals along the edges for use as a vertical fire sail.
Bridgehill® Forklift blanket is our original car fire blanket and the most efficient solution to control and isolate car fires, including those involving electric vehicles.
Bridgehill® Car Pro X blanket is a professional car fire blanket for EVs and combustion vehicles. It withstands up to 2500°C (4500°F), helps isolate toxic smoke, and is reusable up to 30 times. It enables rapid containment without the need for water, helping conserve water resources. Car Pro X can also be deployed as a fire sail to help protect buildings in high-risk environments. Ideal for fire stations, car transport, parking facilities, and towing yards when every second counts.
How does a lithium fire blanket work? What is it used for? What should you know before using one?
This page answers the most common questions about the Bridgehill Lithium Fire Blanket, designed to contain lithium-ion battery fires during thermal runaway. It is used in EV battery incidents, e-mobility fires, and battery handling areas. Learn when to deploy it, how it works, and how it can also be used preventively in workshops and manufacturing.
The Lithium Fire Blanket is a high-performance fire containment blanket designed for lithium-ion battery fires. It is typically used during thermal runaway incidents involving EV battery packs, e-mobility devices or battery modules.
It is specialized for isolating fires in open lithium-ion battery packs, e-bikes, electric scooters, power tools, and more. It serves as a critical safety tool for the automotive industry, workshops, recycling centers, logistics centers, and companies handling loose or damaged batteries.
It is placed directly over the burning object to form a high-temperature barrier that slows heat transfer and helps isolate toxic smoke and gases. This allows responders to control the incident and limit escalation of the fire.
The blanket is specifically designed for EV battery fires and can be used as the first layer during thermal runaway, especially when battery packs are exposed or open. Never lift the fire blanket once deployed. All assessment of the situation shall be conducted only by trained firefighting personnel.
The fire blanket is a containment tool, not an extinguishing agent. It helps limit fire spread, delay escalation, and protect responders and surroundings while further action is taken.
Yes. It is used as the first containment layer over the battery. For full incident control, a larger fire blanket should be applied over the vehicle or object, covering it down to the ground to contain heat, smoke and toxic gases.
Absolutely. It is widely used to cover exposed battery packs during storage, charging, or transport. By keeping the blanket over the batteries preventively, you neutralize the risk of fire spread instantly if a cell fails while unattended.
The Lihtium Fire Blanket can withstand temperatures up to ± 1600 °C | 2912 °F. The fabric is tested to EN ISO 1182, EN ISO 1716, and classified A1 non-combustible per EN 13501-1.

E-mobility storage areas (scooters, bikes, tools)
Yes, but only if they’re specifically designed for lithium-ion battery fires.
Standard fire blankets aren’t built to handle the extreme heat or toxic gases from thermal runaway. Bridgehill’s Lithium Fire Blanket is engineered to contain these fires safely, without water or foam.
