Who should use the Darley Car Fire Blanket
How to Use
Step1
- Ensure the blanket is sized appropriately for the vehicle.
- Unroll blanket.
- Center it behind the car or from the deployment direction.
Note: Full PPE and SCBA are to be worn at all times while deploying and handling any fire blanket exposed to the car. A minimum two-person deployment is needed.
Step 2
- Grab handles, raise them high in the air, and briskly walk the blanket over the burning vehicle.
Note: Keep direct contact with the blanket with the car to a minimum, as sharp edges can tear the blanket during deployment.
Step 3
- Center the blanket over the vehicle using the marking points on the blanket.
Note: Make sure the blanket is touching the ground on all sides. Step down on areas where the air may flow from under the blanket (there will always be some air entrained.)
Step 4
- Use the strap to wrap the base of the blanket around the base of the car.
Note: This will help cut off oxygen and make sure that the blanket doesn’t blow off in high winds. Tools or weights can be used to secure the blanket.
Step 5
- The blanket is deployed. Monitor with a thermal imaging camera.
Additional Notes: Best practice is also to spray the outside of the blanket with water. If possible, deploy an EV nozzle under the car to assist with cooling. The fire will continue to burn under the blanket. While there is no way to put the fire out, the blanket assists with containment and protection from exposures. By limiting oxygen, the fire will cool down but will not go out until the battery has completely burned out. Follow department SOPs and consult NFPA and other guidelines for handling the EV.
Fire in Electric Cars
Usable in Various Situations Follow steps 1-3. After the fire blanket has been placed tight to the ground, wait 2-3 minutes and listen. You have a thermal runaway if you hear strong fuzz sounds about every 3-15 seconds. Leave the fire blanket on until the sound stops. This is a small fire that goes from cell to cell. The fire blanket will prevent the small fire from spreading elsewhere in the car.
