izoval EV-Fire Blanket

Vehicle fire blankets are designed to control vehicle fires, especially in the initial stages. Vehicle fires can be highly dangerous, and a quick response to a fire is crucial for both safety and minimizing damage. The primary purpose of using a vehicle fire blanket is to prevent the fire from spreading and ideally extinguishing it at its source.

Features and Usage of Vehicle Fire Blankets:

Material:

Vehicle fire blankets are typically made of non-flammable or flame-retardant materials. These materials may include fiberglass, aramid, or similar high-durability fabrics.

Size:

Fire blankets designed for vehicle fires may be larger than standard fire blankets to adequately cover and protect large vehicle components such as engines.

Usage:

The fire blanket is used by directly covering the flames. By coming into contact with the flames, the blanket cuts off oxygen supply, which helps to prevent the fire from growing further and aims to control it.

In the event of a fire in the engine compartment, closing the hood of the vehicle first and then using the fire blanket to cut off oxygen can be an effective approach.

Why Are They Important?

Vehicles often contain flammable materials, electrical systems, and metal components, making them prone to rapid fire spread when ignited.

Early intervention can prevent complete vehicle destruction and minimize damage to the surroundings.

A vehicle fire blanket is an essential safety equipment to have, especially during heavy traffic or long journeys. When used in conjunction with fire extinguishers, it provides an effective defense. Using a vehicle fire blanket before or after using a fire extinguisher can help control the fire and initiate the cooling process.
