Vehicle fires present firefighters with ever-increasing challenges. Electric vehicles are particularly dangerous, due to the chain reaction (thermal runaway) created if their battery catches fire, which produces toxic gases and is extremely difficult to extinguish. There is also the risk of ignition of a crashed electric vehicle during transportation or when it has arrived in the workshop or scrapyard. PADTEX’s fireproof blankets are available in various sizes, and in two types: multi-purpose and single-use. They are a very useful tool for firefighters, rescuers, car service facilities, parking and charging stations, ferry boats, car dealerships and rental companies, highway and tunnel management companies.
