Lithium-ion batteries power many of our everyday devices, from mobile phones and power tools to personal mobility devices (PMDs) like e-bikes. However, if these batteries overheat or short-circuit, they can trigger powerful, high-temperature fires that standard fire blankets or extinguishers cannot control.
Available in multiple sizes, the Bridgehill Lithium Fire Blanket is designed for lithium battery fire containment, isolating and controlling fires before they spread.
Built for performance and reliability, the Bridgehill lithium fire blanket delivers these core benefits:
For EVs, workshops, first responders, and any environment at high risk of lithium battery fires, the Bridgehill Lithium Fire Blanket provides professional-grade protection, ready for emergencies.
Traditional fire extinguishers are not designed for lithium battery fire containment and may fail to control the intense heat of EV or lithium-ion battery fires.
A lithium fire blanket provides fast, effective isolation of flames and smoke, making it an important tool in electric vehicle fire safety, as well as other applications involving lithium batteries, such as power tools and electronics, among others.
| Feature | Lithium Fire Blanket | Traditional Fire Extinguisher |
| Primary Mechanism | Containment and Isolation.
It fully covers the burning object to contain flames, smoke, and toxic gases, and prevents the spread of fire. |
Extinguishment.
It works by cooling, smothering (removing external oxygen), or interrupting the chemical reaction of a fire; however, these methods are largely ineffective against the internal self-heating and oxygen production of a lithium-ion thermal runaway event. |
| Effectiveness in Lithium-Ion Fires | Highly Effective for isolating and containing the fire, smoke, and toxic fumes. | Largely Ineffective at fully extinguishing the fire due to the self-sustaining nature of thermal runaway. |
| Toxic Gas Mitigation | Designed to significantly reduce the spread of highly hazardous and toxic gases released during a lithium fire. | Water-based systems can worsen the situation by potentially promoting the formation of more toxic gases. |
| Re-ignition Risk | Prevents re-ignition by containing the heat and isolating the burning object. | There’s a significant risk of re-ignition due to thermal runaway. |
A Bridgehill Fire Blanket for lithium fires is now used across multiple industries where battery fire safety is critical to protect people, property, and operations.

Simply drag the Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket over the burning vehicle to immediately isolate the flames and fumes. In electric vehicles, the lithium batteries will continue to burn even without oxygen. We recommend to leave the fire blanket on when transporting electric vehicles on a tow truck. Tie it properly with a rope or a load strap at tire level.
Place the fire blanket on the ground in front of- or behind the vehicle and roll it out.
Two people should grab each their handle and safely pull the fire blanket over the car in one continuous movement.
Make sure the fire blanket is tight all the way to the ground. Wait for firefighters to assess the situation further.
To uncover the car – drag the fire blanket away from the vehicle, not towards the car.
For fire in electric vehicles – we recommend to leave the fire blanket on until the vehicle has been transported to a safe place.
Our Lithium Fire Blanket is engineered to meet rigorous international safety standards, ensuring reliable lithium battery fire containment when it matters most.
This professional-grade fire blanket provides trusted safety for industries and environments where electric vehicle fire safety and battery fire containment are critical.
