Fires—it’s one of the worst nightmares for car owners out there, and one that should be discussed about more frequently. While they’re rare and mostly preventable, sometimes, disasters do strike, and when they do, they hit. Hard. Normally, the solution would be to douse the fire with huge quantities of water, or if you’re lucky enough, use an appropriate fire extinguisher. But what do you do in the off chance that there’s not enough water pressure, or if the vehicle fire you’re fighting has already undergone thermal runaway? The solution to that would be to use a Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket.
Car fires are inherently dangerous, not just because of the flame itself, but because they also emit toxic fumes. Thus, in locations such as gas stations, multi-level condos, car parks (multi-level or underground), dealerships with servicing, airports, and even ferries, it can quickly become a disaster. With the Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket, it contains not just the flames, but also the smoke and toxic fumes in just seconds.
Measuring 6 x 8 meters when unfurled, the Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket is suitable for most vehicle sizes, even large SUVs. Stored in an airtight bag when not in use, they don’t expire nor require any maintenance making it perfect for first-responders such as fire trucks, expressway service vehicles, and even towing companies. What’s more, they can be reused up to 30 times making it cost-effective. And in case it does tear after encountering extremely sharp objects, it can be sewed using a repair kit.
Depending on the model—First Responder Car Standard or Professional Car Pro X—the Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket is made of either pyroxene or graphite making it able to withstand up to 2,500 Celsius and long-term fires up to 1,500 Celsius making it suitable for taking out not just fuel-based fires, but those caused by trickier battery-based ones.
Compared to traditional fire extinguishers which require complex instruction and proper training to use—using the Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket requires just three, simple steps. Step one would be to place the fire blanket on the ground and center it in front or behind the car, and roll it out. Step two, is to grab each handle and pull the fire blanket over the car in one continuous movement. Step three, is to make sure that the blanket is tight to the ground all the way, and leave for 20 minutes.
