The Fire Cloak USA EV Car Fire Blanket is a professional-grade electric vehicle fire limitation blanket designed to help contain EV fires, lithium-ion battery thermal runaway, intense heat, flames and smoke.

Measuring approximately 26' x 19.5' (8m x 6m), this is Fire Cloak's standard-size EV fire blanket for passenger cars, sedans, compact vans and smaller SUVs/4x4s.

Designed for professional emergency response, towing and recovery, automotive dealerships, parking facilities, fleet operations and EV service facilities, Fire Cloak provides a purpose-built solution for helping isolate a burning electric vehicle and reduce the risk of fire spreading to nearby vehicles and property.

Designed for Electric Vehicle & Lithium-Ion Battery Fires

A damaged or defective high-energy EV battery can enter thermal runaway, creating an intense fire that spreads from one battery cell to another.

Fire Cloak is designed to completely cover the affected vehicle. When properly deployed, the blanket helps restrict the oxygen available to the fire while containing heat, flames and smoke around the vehicle.

This containment can help reduce the risk of an EV fire spreading to nearby vehicles, buildings, equipment and other property while trained emergency personnel manage the incident.

Standard 8m x 6m Size for Passenger Vehicles

At approximately 26' x 19.5', the standard Fire Cloak provides coverage for many of the electric vehicles encountered by towing companies, fire departments and automotive facilities every day.

Recommended vehicle applications include:

• Electric passenger cars

• Sedans

• Compact electric vehicles

• Small and midsize EVs

• Compact vans

• Smaller SUVs

• Smaller 4x4 vehicles

• Hybrid and other vehicles involving high-energy lithium-ion batteries

For larger SUVs, pickup trucks, large vans, minibuses and commercial EVs, consider the Fire Cloak USA XL EV Fire Blanket.

Ideal for Towing & Recovery Companies

As electric vehicles become more common, towing and recovery operators are increasingly likely to encounter EVs involved in accidents, battery damage and thermal events.

Keeping a Fire Cloak available at a tow yard, recovery facility or on appropriately equipped response vehicles gives trained personnel access to a purpose-built containment tool when dealing with an electric vehicle fire.

Fire Cloak is also an excellent addition to emergency preparedness plans for:

• Tow truck and recovery companies

• Fire departments

• First responders

• Automotive dealerships

• EV dealerships

• Collision repair facilities

• Body shops

• EV service centers

• Vehicle storage and impound yards

• Parking garages

• EV charging stations

• Fleet facilities

• Rental car facilities

• Airports

• Universities and campuses

• Warehouses

• Municipal facilities

• Commercial parking facilities

Fire Cloak Standard vs. XL

Standard Fire Cloak – 8m x 6m:
Best suited for passenger cars, sedans, compact vans and smaller SUVs/4x4s.

Fire Cloak XL – 12m x 9m:
Designed for larger vehicles such as large SUVs, pickup trucks, panel vans, minibuses and larger commercial EVs.

Choosing a blanket large enough to properly cover the vehicle is important for effective containment.

Important Safety Information

ONLY TRAINED FIRE AND RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD DEPLOY FIRE CLOAK ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ACTUALLY ON FIRE.

Fire Cloak is a fire limitation and containment product. It does not, by itself, extinguish an electric vehicle or lithium-ion battery fire.

The blanket inhibits the distribution of flue gases but does not prevent them, and it does not provide burst protection.

Always contact emergency services and follow established emergency-response procedures. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used when responding to an EV or lithium-ion battery fire.
