What is the FI-BLULTRA0806 Ultra Fire Blanket?
The FI-BLULTRA0806 Ultra Fire Blanket is a high-performance Fire Blanket specifically designed for electric vehicle (EV) fires or other (lithium) battery fires. It is the strongest Fire Blanket in the Fire Isolator range. Made from 96.6% high-quality silica and finished with a double silicone coating, it offers outstanding durability and heat resistance. By containing the flames and blocking oxygen, the Ultra Fire Blanket helps prevent fire spread, limits collateral damage, and reduces smoke and toxic fumes.
Thanks to its reinforced construction, the Ultra Fire Blanket is reusable up to 30 times and can be cleaned after each use. It offers a long-term, sustainable solution for professionals who regularly deal with high-risk fire situations.
Why is the Ultra Fire Blanket so important?
Vehicle fires—especially those involving lithium-ion batteries—can be intense, long-lasting, and unpredictable. The Ultra Fire Blanket is engineered to perform under these extreme conditions, withstanding peak temperatures up to 1700°C and enduring continuous exposure to 1200°C for extended periods. This makes it a reliable tool for safely containing and controlling fires involving cars, SUVs, pick-ups, and even light electric vehicles such as e-scooters and e-bikes.
By depriving the fire of oxygen, the blanket effectively isolates the flames, giving fire crews a safer environment to operate in and reducing the risk of secondary ignition. In addition, the blanket has no expiration date and offers a shelf life of over 25 years when stored properly, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term use.
How do you use the Ultra Fire Blanket?
Deployment of the Ultra Fire Blanket is fast and straightforward. Two people can quickly position the blanket over a burning vehicle using the large colored loops, which provide clear handling points even in high-pressure situations. The blanket comes with a durable smart bag for safe storage, and an optional wall-mounted cabinet is available for quick access in emergency settings.
While the Ultra Fire Blanket is highly effective on its own, it works even better as a part of the full Fire Isolator concept. For maximum fire suppression, it should be used in combination with Aerosol Units to actively knock down flames and a Watermist lance to cool the battery compartment and help prevent reignition. Together, these tools form a powerful, integrated approach to EV fire containment.
