Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket Prevents Potential Disaster in Norway Tesla Crash

A Tesla crash at Burger King in Bodø, Norway, could have ended in disaster — but thanks to a quick-thinking janitor and the deployment of a Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket, the situation was swiftly contained. The electric vehicle, which crashed into the building at City Nord, began emitting smoke, prompting immediate concern over a potential battery fire.

Kit Hardy, janitor at City Nord, acted fast by covering the vehicle with a Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket — preventing the spread of smoke, flames, and toxic fumes. This rapid response demonstrates the critical role of fire blankets in containing EV fires before they escalate.
