1. SAFETY

1.1. PERSONAL SAFETY
Wear fire-resistant clothing, gloves, etc. to avoid injury when using the fire blanket. These instructions are provided as a guide only. Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service instructions, or a proprietary manual, to establish the current procedure and data. Inspect the fire blanket for damage before use. IMPORTANT: Once in position, the blanket should not be removed until emergency services have assessed the situation.

1.2. OXYGEN DEPRIVATION
EV fire blankets work by cutting off the oxygen supply to the fire, which starves the fire of the oxygen it needs to continue burning. This helps to rapidly extinguish the fire and prevent it from spreading. NOTE: In electric vehicles, even without oxygen the lithium battery will continue burning. We therefore recommend that a fire blanket be kept on the tow truck when transporting electric vehicles.

1.3. QUICK RESPONSE
EV fire blankets are designed to be quickly deployed in the event of a fire, allowing for rapid containment and extinguishing of the fire.

1.4. REUSABLE
Please note the EV500 is for single-use only. The EV1000 can be reused up to 5 times if the blanket has been closely inspected and fabric is not compromised.
