Manufactured in Europe, the FLAMASTOP fire blanket is designed to prevent the spread of flames during the fire of:
- Combustion engine vehicles of all sizes (city cars, SUVs, sedans, minivans, etc.) running on gasoline or diesel;
- Electric vehicles equipped with lithium batteries (bikes, scooters, cars, scooters, handling equipment, etc.).
Its use helps to control the flames and:
- Extinguish them in the case of a combustion engine vehicle;
- Contain them if it is an electric model.
Additionally, it makes firefighters’ jobs easier.
Thanks to its composition—high-performance, non-combustible technical fibers that have been tested in official and accredited laboratories—the FLAMASTOP fire blanket withstands extreme temperatures. It is, therefore, a concept that integrates both aspects:
- Innovative, offering an alternative to other fire-fighting methods, and using technical materials that meet the most demanding fire reaction classification standards on the market;
- Eco-friendly, as it limits soil and air pollution that can occur when extinguishing a burning vehicle.
A Reusable Blanket to Prevent Fire Spread
The FLAMASTOP fire blanket is innovative because it :
- Is reusable, simply air it out and dry it between uses;
- Can be deployed immediately, at the start of a fire, by only two people as it weighs less than 30 kg and has two handles for easy handling;
- Requires no maintenance;
- Does not need a nearby water tank or supply as it does not require water to function;
- Folds and stores in a bag, making it easy to store and transport;
- Can be used without any fire-fighting training. Its handling is intuitive as it unfolds over a vehicle like a “classic” blanket.
An Equipment Limiting Pollution and Damage in Case of Vehicle Fire
The damage caused by a fire does not only concern the affected vehicle. It also has a health impact, as the smoke releases toxic gases, and an environmental impact as it emits particles into the air, and the soil and water can be polluted.
Moreover, to extinguish a fire, large quantities of water are used, which must be properly contained on-site to prevent any pollution.
This is why the FLAMASTOP fire blanket proves to be an eco-friendly solution, which does not replace other fire-fighting devices but complements them. It is considered environmentally friendly because it:
- Limits the use of water and thus, the runoff of dirty water;
- Releases no dangerous substances on the ground, no harmful smoke into the atmosphere, no suspended particles, and leaves no residue on surfaces;
- Reduces the damage caused by a vehicle fire by preventing the spread of flames to other nearby vehicles or infrastructure;
- Contains toxic and opaque smoke resulting from combustion.
Usable on combustion engines or electric vehicles, the FLAMASTOP fire blanket meets current challenges in fire-fighting and environmental preservation. Available in various sizes, it is suitable for different applications, both indoors and outdoors.
