Where to use
Parking Garages
In parking garages and other places with a high concentration of cars, there’s always a risk of car fire and spread of fire. The Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket should be easily accessible on every parking level.
Ferries
On a car ferry, it’s crucial to isolate fire and smoke quickly to prevent the fire from spreading and avoid panic among passengers. A Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket should be available on every car deck.
Gas stations and charging stations
A Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket should be easily accessible at both gas stations and electric car charging stations. At a gas station, it can prevent the fire from spreading to the gasoline. At charging stations, it’s the only solution that can quickly and safely isolate the fire in lithium-powered vehicles.
Car repair shops
Cars with errors or cars that have recently been involved in an accident have a greater chance of self-igniting. A Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket should be easily available at any car repair shop, paint shop or workshop.
Towing services
Rescue and repair vehicles regularly transport broken or damaged cars, including cars that have been involved in an accident or fire. It’s therefore important to have a Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket easily accessible inside the rescue car.
Road tunnels
In road tunnels, it’s crucial to isolate smoke and toxic gases from car fires quickly, as they pose a danger to people inside the tunnel. Bridgehill Car Fire Blankets should be available at regular intervals throughout the tunnel.
Airports
Many cars are parked outside of airport terminals. Inside the terminal building, luggage cars, forklifts and other vehicles can be at risk of fire. Airports should have a number of Bridgehill Car Fire Blankets near entrances and throughout the building.
How it works
- It is essential that all personnel are trained in proper deployment and follow the approved protocol.
- Never use water under the blanket, as this can lead to toxic gas buildup, hydrogen explosions, steam pressure, and re-ignition.
- Always wait for professional firefighters to assess the situation before removing the blanket
Step 1 – Get ready
Place the fire blanket on the ground in front of- or behind the vehicle and roll it out.
Step 2 – Cover the vehicle
Two people should grab each their handle and safely pull the fire blanket over the car in one continuous movement.
Step 3 – Leave the fire blanket on
Ensure the fire blanket is sealed tightly against the ground on all sides. Do not attempt to remove it yourself—only trained firefighters should uncover the vehicle. When removing the blanket, it must always be pulled away from the car, never towards it.
In electric vehicle fires, the blanket should remain in place until the vehicle has been transported to a safe location and inspected with a thermal imaging camera to confirm that the temperature has dropped and the fire is fully extinguished.
Why it works better than powder, water or foam
There are thousands of car fires around the world every single day. Most of them are extinguished using foam or water. But these methods throw toxic fumes into the air and drain hazardous substances in the groundwater. Bridgehill Car Fire Blankets don’t. They isolate smoke immediately without spreading toxic fumes or substances – making them safer for people and the environment.
- Controls fire in any car within seconds
- The most efficient solution for isolating fire in electric vehicles
- Immediate Isolation of toxic gases and smoke, reducing carcinogen exposure
- Eco-friendly
