JohnDow Industries’ Vehicle Fire Blanket enables users to suppress electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engine vehicle fire flames and fumes. Lithium-ion battery fires are very difficult to extinguish and traditional fire repellents do not work due to thermal runaway. When an EV experiences thermal runaway, the battery self-generates heat until it reaches its limit or experiences a catastrophic failure like a fire. The fire blanket’s high temperature-resistant material prevents fire from spreading and damaging surrounding vehicles and property while minimizing potential combustion and the fire’s temperature.
