Firechief Lithshield Tough Battery fire blanket datasheet

2. Trained personnel : Only trained responders can use the fire blanket, hence, Firechief Global provides guidelines and training for the safe use of the fire blankets. Our goal is to educate as to the tacƟcal use of blanket and correctly assess the benefits, risks and limitaƟon.

Support for ConƟnued Research

We fully support and encourage the conƟnued research by FPRF and FSRI. Their work is essenƟal in refining and validaƟng best pracƟces for emerging fire challenges. However, unƟl conclusive data confirms consistent explosion events across a wide range of real-world condiƟons, the recommendaƟon should not be to disconƟnue the use of fire blankets, but instead to adhere to safe blanket use.

Conclusion

Firechief ® LithShield EV fire blankets are specifically engineered for the miƟgaƟon of hazards associated with lithium-ion baƩery incidents, including thermal runaway and subsequent fire propagaƟon. The LithShield Tough blankets have been tested in accordance with, and passed, DIN SPEC 91489:2024-11, which replicates combusƟon scenarios representaƟve of EV baƩery fires. Report is available on request. EV fire blankets, when deployed by trained personnel , remain a valuable tacƟcal opƟon for managing specific risks associated with EV fires, especially in urban, confined, or high-exposure environments. The recent joint noƟce highlights a specific risk , not a universal failure, and should prompt refinement, not rejecƟon , of the tacƟc. We look forward to engaging construcƟvely with the NFPA, FSRI, and other stakeholders to ensure that the fire service community is empowered with both tools and knowledge to face the growing challenge of EV fires safely and effecƟvely.
