- The capabilities of the ‘Fire Cloak’ Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket by Prosol UK were demonstrated in March at the HORIBA MIRA test facility in Nuneaton, with motor industry professionals from organisations including the Volkswagen Group, Direct Line and Continental present.
Comments Andy: “We’re delighted to be able to share the video of that demonstration and take this opportunity to thank Warwickshire Fire & Rescue Service for doing an amazing job of deploying the blanket in such extreme circumstances.
“The video shows the electric vehicle reaching a temperature of at least 900°C. Once deployed, our ‘Fire Cloak’ Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket contained the fire thus minimising collateral damage and allowing time for fire service response. In the process, the fire temperature dropped to 47°C.
“I must stress that we would never advocate using the blanket on such a raging inferno. It is specifically designed to be used to quarantine vehicles in a suspected pre-fire condition.”
Measuring 8 x 6 metres and weighing 24kg, the ‘Fire Cloak’ Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket by Prosol UK is competitively priced with significant discounts available for quantity purchases.
Concludes Andy: “Electric vehicle fires are only set to become more common as more of us switch from traditional petrol and diesel cars. From garages, charging points, shopping centres and car parks to ferry operators, recovery services, airports and road tunnels, having a ‘Fire Cloak’ Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket by Prosol UK to hand at various locations could mean the difference between effectively controlling an electric vehicle fire and experiencing widespread damage and, worst case scenario, loss of life.”

Needs a hose fitting in the center for flooding before removing the blanket.
I thought of phones with lithium batteries... is this how they explode into fires?
Can a phone sleeve work at home? Something to put it into when you sleep, even when it's recharging?
Pretty cool editing. Very nice demonstration of how effective a fire blanket can be
it looked like the shroud of turin.
Is this a one-time use product?
ofc it is, 100% non recyclable
@@anubaral very green indeed
Better then all the chemicals they use for fires.
I wondered if this could be used for firebreaks in wildfires... just leave it on the ground until there is no fire???
Boy, that art on the side of that firetruck sure is depressing. Propaganda isn't cool whether the messages being pushed are good or not.
Please stop these demonstrations. What a massive waste of resources. All the good parts of car and battery pack could be reused. You set the car on fire not the battery. The battery is the subframe of the car. Not in the interior. There is also several different chemistries of batteries ev’s use. One demo that was filmed is sufficient to sell your product. This is very disappointing to see.
it's all about the money
Still kind of bad. 1300 hours is more than 54 days.
u misunderstood, it's clock in this weird format. Car started to burn at 11:00 and the fire was fully extinguished at 13:00
Got tricked as well, it's reportedly some format used by military/aviation.
@@shoarmik6389 It is used everywhere in Europe (probably in the world at the apparent notable exception of the US of A), for train, bus, plane schedules, for scheduling meetings on my iPhone, etc, etc, etc.
For example, I agree over the phone to meet a friend at twenty past one, and I'll tell him that I'll send a message to confirm time and place. In written format, I will confirm him that the meeting is for 13:20
Cringe. Goes to show people state their opinions on EVs without understanding properly
@@shoarmik6389 military time... goes by 24 hours not 12am/12pm ..etc
2 days later, car re-ignites.
No! You have to keep the blanket on until everything has cooled to a temperature below that of self-ignition of gasoline, respectively, in EVs, of the batteries' electrolyte. It can take a couple of hours... certainly not a couple of days. For reasons of time constraints, fire departments, equipped with such blankets, like the one of the city where I live, don't wait that long to take it off, but are then fully ready to finish off the resurgent fire in minutes.
Looked like the fire was almost out given the car was almost burnt out, before they put the blanket on, by then the damage is done, should of tested it just after the fire started
Cover your EV with one whenever it's in your garage in parked in public.
Why?
Well. The thing was still on fire when the blanket came off. Still needed the fire department. Really no difference. The big problem is when it burst into flames again the next day. That's the scary part. People with electric cars should put a blanket over it every night
Also, remember the cellphone next to your bed.
great video. I don’t know if I am missing something, I thought the blanket would starve the fire of oxygen then when the blackest is remove the fire would be out, so my questions are: Why did the fire reignite and why did the FF use water to put the fire out.
All the fuel and oxygen is in the battery, it's not out till the fuel is gone, that is the danger with EV, water cools the fire, reducing hazards locally.
@@BornAgainCynic0086 The fuel is in the battery, you are correct on that point. Battery still uses organic electrolytes that are flammable... but that will change with newer generations of batteries.
You are partially correct as to the oxygen. Certain battery chemistries can indeed generate some oxygen... not enough to keep a fire burning (that is why the blankets work), but enough to keep it smoldering.
So, you either have to keep the blanket long enough for this slow burning to have stopped, and temperatures to have fallen below the self-ignition temperature of the electrolyte. Or, like fire departments do, use the blanket to take out 90% of the fire while getting their equipment ready, and then removing the blanket to finish it off with conventional fire fighting techniques... The blanket allows to use 99% less water than fighting the full-blown fire. Isn't it precisely what this video demonstrates?
I am no fireman, but my nephew is, and told me of their fire department's experience, not only with EV fires (quite rare... a couple per year in a city of 400'000), but also of ICE vehicle fires (one or more virtually every day).
no it raises the temperature of the EV battery fire make far easier to put out that is what makes battery fire so hard to extinguish
Total scam
On what basis do you say that? From the top of your head?
In my city, each Fire Department vehicle carries one or several such blankets (another brand, though). They are not only useful for EV fires, but also for ICE vehicle fires... which happen to be literally hundreds of times more common in general than EV fires, and 20-30 times more common per 1000 vehicles. I know this from my nephew who is an officer in said Fire Department.
This does not track with actual LIB fire... It is a nice demonstration, true, but it looks like either battery was on very low charge or inoperable initially. There was no explosive rupture nowhere to be seen, which should be almost certain with a short-circuit. It looked like standard ICE fire.
But I may be wrong...
All well and good .... except it can catch on fire again WEEKS later.
But firefighters will never let this be. They need to complain about funding and training for the ev dangers. Never a word about the thousands more ice fires though.
