{"product_id":"ev-fire-blanket","title":"EV \u0026 Car Fire Blanket","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn electric vehicle fire is not a car fire with a different fuel. A damaged or overheating traction battery goes into thermal runaway — a self-sustaining chemical reaction that produces its own oxygen, resists extinguishing agents, releases toxic gas, and can reignite hours or even days after the visible flames stop. Water alone often can't reach the cells. The \u003cstrong\u003eSteel Guard EV Fire Blanket\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for that reality: drape it over the vehicle to contain the fire, block radiant heat from spreading to adjacent cars and structure, and control smoke until responders take over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a heavy-duty \u003cstrong\u003ereusable\u003c\/strong\u003e blanket, not a thin single-use drape. It's cut and sewn in our US factory from Draft-Tex™ fabric, built on Newtex Z-Block® silicone-coated fiberglass rated \u003cstrong\u003e1,800°F (982°C) continuous\u003c\/strong\u003e, and constructed to the design and test parameters of DIN SPEC 91489:2024-11 — the European standard written specifically for electric vehicle fire blankets.

Fine for a one-time emergency stock item; expensive if you ever train with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight-duty imports ($1,400–2,400):\u003c\/strong\u003e roughly 480 g\/m² single-layer fabric — about half the weight of a heavy-duty blanket — usually imported and frequently backordered or out of stock in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-duty reusable ($2,700–4,100):\u003c\/strong\u003e multi-layer-capable construction, 1,800°F continuous ratings, load-rated handles, built to be deployed and returned to service. That's where ours sits — at the bottom of that tier, because we're the manufacturer and there's no importer or distributor markup in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReusable — the Difference That Compounds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost EV blankets sold in the US are single-use. One deployment — a real event, a training exercise, even a false alarm — and a four-figure blanket is scrap. Ours is engineered for a working life: deploy it in drills, train your responders on it, inspect it annually, clean off contamination, refold it, and return it to service. Only after exposure to an actual fire is it retired, which is true of any lithium-ion blanket, because the coating in the contact zone sacrifices itself to protect the fabric beneath. If your department or facility runs annual drills, a reusable blanket pays for itself against a disposable in the first training cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Real Deployment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 20-foot blanket is only useful if two people can actually get it over a burning car. Ours is built around that: \u003cstrong\u003eevery deployment loop is red\u003c\/strong\u003e for instant identification in heavy smoke, corner loops are supplemented with side-edge loops so no grab point is more than about six feet apart, and every loop is a 2-inch reinforced strap on a backed doubler, built and tested to a \u003cstrong\u003e125 kg (275 lb) shock load\u003c\/strong\u003e. Deployment is a controlled drag — two people take the leading corners and pull the blanket over the vehicle while side crews walk alongside, so nobody reaches across the leading edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blanket must cover the vehicle completely \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e lie flat on the ground at least 20 inches (0.5 m) past it on every side. That ground overlap is what starves the fire and blocks radiant heat from reaching the car parked next to it. Measure your largest expected vehicle, add roughly 40 inches to each dimension, and round up. Standard passenger cars take the 20' × 26'; if you're covering full-size trucks, EUVs, or vans — or you want one blanket that handles anything that pulls in — take the 22' × 30'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery blanket ships as a complete, deployment-ready kit — not a folded blanket in a box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe blanket\u003c\/strong\u003e — Draft-Tex™ construction, serialized, with permanent identification label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheeled storage box\u003c\/strong\u003e — an EV-sized blanket exceeds practical carry weight, so it ships in a wheeled box that doubles as the deployment cart: roll it to the vehicle, flip the lid, pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeatherproof document pouch\u003c\/strong\u003e — mounted to the blanket, readable without unpacking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudit-ready documentation pack\u003c\/strong\u003e — laminated emergency deployment card, serialized product identification record, safety and use information, and an inspection \u0026amp; service log\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional add-on:\u003c\/strong\u003e a wall-mounted Station Kit case with mounting hardware — our sewn rip-open vinyl case that keeps the blanket mounted and instantly deployable beside a charging station, with the deployment card visible on the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImported EV blankets are stocked in limited quantities in the US, with backorders running up to three months — and at the moment several of the best-known models, and their wall-mount accessories, are simply out of stock.
