Electric Vehicle and Lithium Fires - Isolation and Suppression

The rise in numbers of EV incidents due to the complex effects of Lithium-Ion batteries either on fire or due to the potential for thermal runaway is a current challenge to the emergency services and recovery companies.

FRSA provide isolation and suppression solutions for electric vehicle and lithium battery fires from our industry-leading manufacturers. 

Bridgehill is dedicated to protecting lives, property and the environment. From car fires to house fires and wildfires, Bridgehill fire blankets enable you to quickly and safely isolate a fire before it causes greater damage or loss of life. All Bridgehill products use BridgeTech™, a unique heat-resistant fabric based on the material used to protect spacecraft from intense heat. They are designed by engineers, tested by firefighters and simple enough for anyone to use. 



Fire Containers Ltd have designed and developed the world’s first patent protected Electric Vehicle Containment Unit (EVCU) with a built-in water supply which recirculates water for continual cooling and fire suppression even during transit. The Electric Vehicle Containment Units (EVCU) can assist multiple organisations including the Emergency services, Recovery operators, Vehicle manufacturers, Insurance companies, Waste management organisations, Recycling centres, Highways agencies and global logistical chains to name a few.
