Bridgehill Fire Blankets: Proven Effective for EV and Diesel Vehicle Fires

Bridgehill’s fire blankets are not only engineered for electric vehicle (EV) fires—they also deliver outstanding performance for fossil-fuel vehicles.

During a recent demonstration in France, our distributor FMS INCENDIE encountered a live diesel car fire
After alerting emergency services, they deployed the Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket, efficiently containing the fire before responders arrived. Despite the lack of PPE, their training and expertise as firefighters empowered them to take action. This real-world incident highlights the versatility, speed, and reliability of Bridgehill fire blankets in managing vehicle fires across all fuel types. 

Bridgehill fire blankets are a critical tool for every emergency responder—not just for EVs, but for all vehicle fire types.
