Key Advantages of the Bridgehill Lithium Fire Blanket
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:
- Temperature resistance (short and long-term)
- Smoke and fume isolation
- Deployment speed and ease of use
- Reusability or training suitability
- Proprietary technology (BridgeTech™ coating)
- Compact or space-saving design
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.
Lithium Fire Blanket vs Traditional Fire Extinguishers
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. |
Lithium Fire Blanket: Real-World Applications & Industries
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.
Key applications include:
- EV manufacturing plants for safe handling and testing of electric vehicle batteries
- EV charging stations and workshops to manage potential lithium-ion battery incidents on-site
- Battery recycling and logistics facilities to ensure safe transport and storage of high-capacity batteries
- Residential garages and parking structures for peace of mind, where personal mobility devices or EVs are stored
- Aviation and marine storage areas to protect high-value equipment and specialised battery systems
