Fire Protection for Automotive Workshops and Showrooms
In automotive workshops, car dealerships, paint shops, and service garages, fire risk is an operational reality. Modern vehicles, especially electric and hybrid cars with lithium-ion batteries, can ignite due to battery failure, electrical faults, fuel leaks, or post-collision damage. In confined workshop environments, a single vehicle fire can escalate rapidly and spread to nearby cars, equipment, or building structures.
Bridgehill fire blankets provide a fast and effective vehicle fire containment solution for the automotive industry. By quickly covering the vehicle, the blanket isolates flames, limits oxygen supply, and reduces the spread of smoke and toxic gases. This helps prevent fire propagation to adjacent vehicles and workshop infrastructure.
How to Use a Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket in a Workshop
When a vehicle fire occurs:
- Deploy the blanket rapidly from its smart storage bag.
- Approach the vehicle from a safe direction.
- Cover the vehicle to isolate flames and contain smoke.
- Ensure full coverage around the base to reduce oxygen flow.
The blanket helps contain the fire at the source, buying critical time for emergency response and preventing escalation within enclosed workshop environments.
Why Automotive Facilities Need Fire Blankets
Automotive environments often include:
- High vehicle density
- Flammable liquids and paints
- Battery-powered tools and charging stations
- Limited ventilation
A vehicle fire in a repair bay or showroom can halt operations, cause severe structural damage, and create significant financial loss.
Bridgehill fire blankets support:
- Rapid fire containment
- Reduced smoke spread
- Improved workplace safety
- Protection of high-value inventory
- Business continuity and compliance
For workshops handling electric vehicles, having a dedicated EV fire containment solution is increasingly essential.

Bridgehill Lithium Fire Blanket is an essential tool for isolating lithium-ion battery fires. Designed for car manufacturers, workshops, recycling stations, manufacturing, and more this heavy-duty fire blanket is engineered to cover open battery packs, e-mobility devices, and hazardous modules.
Urban Emergency Fire Blanket for Public Environments is designed for early-stage lithium-ion battery fire incidents involving e-scooters, e-bikes, power banks, personal computers, and other small electronic devices in public spaces such as schools, transport hubs, shopping centers, hotels, parking garages, and charging areas.
Mounted in a highly visible wall-installed container with a breakable access panel, the blanket enables rapid deployment by non-professional users. It is intended to isolate small, localized fires at an early stage, helping reduce flame spread, smoke development, and risk to surrounding materials until emergency services arrive.
Bridgehill Heat Block is advanced fire protection for homes and buildings. This high-performance thermal barrier protects against wildfires, flying embers, nearby structure fires, and intense radiant heat.
HeatBlock helps prevent ignition during ember storms and external heat exposure. It is ideal for residential properties in wildfire-prone areas, urban neighborhoods at risk of adjacent fires, and construction sites requiring temporary fire protection.
Whether used proactively or in an emergency, HeatBlock helps safeguard property and reduce fire spread risk when it matters most.
Bridgehill Car Standard provides fast and effective fire containment for electric and combustion engine vehicles. Designed for first responders and safety professionals, it blocks flames, isolates toxic smoke, and requires no water. Lightweight, easy to deploy, and certified for high-temperature performance, it is the trusted solution for parking garages, workshops, tunnels, and charging stations.
Equipped with eyelets at one-meter intervals along the edges for use as a vertical fire sail.
A forklift fire blanket is an industrial fire containment solution designed to isolate forklift fires in warehouses, logistics hubs, ports, and high-risk operational environments before they spread.
Warehouse fires can escalate within minutes whether caused by lithium-ion forklifts, pallet trucks, or goods stored on pallets. The fire blanket is engineered to rapidly contain and control fires at the source, preventing spread to racking systems, inventory, and building structures.
By cutting off the oxygen supply, the blanket suppresses flames, limits smoke and toxic gases, and helps protect valuable assets while significantly reducing operational downtime.
Bridgehill Extreme Series provides high-performance fire containment for high-risk equipment and battery environments. Designed for high-risk settings such as workshops, battery facilities, commercial kitchens, and manufacturing sites.The integrated metal chain ensures tighter ground sealing.
Available in three sizes.
