How to fight Electric Car Fires
That electric car fires due to the lithium battery cannot be extinguished with water should be known by now. Even a regular fire blanket alone will not fight the fire in the battery. The Fire Isolator concept therefore consists of 3 proven elements that only used together can get a burning electric car (with lithium battery in thermal runaway) to the point where it can be removed safely and without risk of much collateral damage and/or submerged in an immersion container.
- the Fire Isolator fire blanket
- the Fire Isolator aerosol units (consisting of potassium nitrate)
- a water mist lance to precipitate the smoke/fumes coming from the car and to make the blanket even more gas-tight so that the aerosol units work even better
