EV Fire in Vilnius Lithuania
Electric Vehicle Fire in Vilnius Underscores Urgent Need for Fire Containment Solutions.
A recent electric vehicle fire in a busy Vilnius parking area mobilized significant firefighting resources, highlighting a growing challenge for first responders and city planners alike. With electric vehicles (EVs) becoming more common on roads globally, the incident has renewed focus on effective, rapid fire containment measures that can safeguard urban spaces and protect lives.

Why Electric Vehicle Fires Pose Unique Risks
EV fires present unique challenges due to the lithium-ion batteries that power them. These batteries, while essential for electric mobility, can sustain fires that are particularly intense and hard to extinguish. Unlike traditional vehicle fires, EV fires can reignite multiple times, requiring prolonged firefighting efforts. In Vilnius, this led to the deployment of significant resources to contain a single vehicle fire, consuming both time and personnel.
Bridgehill’s fire blankets offer a different approach—rapid, effective containment that isolates the fire, prevents the spread of harmful smoke and flames, and allows firefighters to regain control more quickly. This not only limits the environmental and physical impact of the fire but also conserves resources and reduces operational strain on emergency response teams.
