The increasing prevalence of electric vehicles has led to a rise in fire incidents, often attributed to battery-related issues. The complex nature of lithium-ion batteries poses challenges in mitigating fire risks.
The T-ISS FireBlanket FI-BL0202 can be used for lithium batteries. By using this blanket, the lithium-ion fire will be isolated, preventing the fire from spreading and avoiding collateral damage, also the smoke spread will be reduced. The FireBlanket is reusable and can be cleaned. It can stand peak temperatures of 1600 °C, and can withstand 1200 °C for more than 50 hours.
Fires sparked by faulty e-bikes and e-scooters have injured at least 190 people in the UK and killed eight. Overheating lithium-ion batteries create fierce fires, releasing toxic smoke, and are now occurring at the rate of at least six a week in the UK.
Integration of electric vehicles (EVs) in warehouses presents heightened fire risks due to their high-voltage systems. To mitigate these dangers, stringent safety protocols, comprehensive training programs, and proper handling procedures are essential. Implementing fire suppression systems and conducting regular inspections further enhance warehouse safety and minimize potential hazards.

Reducing the impact and collateral damage of Lithium-ion battery fires
A Lithium-ion battery fire cannot be dealt with in the same way as a conventional fire as Lithium-ion does not require oxygen and can be considered by nature a chemical fire which will burn within itself. Once a lithium-ion battery cell reaches thermal runaway when its temperature rises uncontrollably at a rate greater than 20’c per minute, it will turn into a ‘thermal runway’. The Lithium-ion fire reaches much higher temperatures than a conventional fire, almost twice, in a very short space of time from ignition (1600c) It is not just the fire which poses a hazard, the smoke and toxic gases from the fire can be hazardous to life if inhaled.
