FAQs

What types of fires is this blanket designed for?

This fire blanket is specifically designed for lithium-ion battery fires. It is highly effective at isolating and slowing the escalation of such fires.

How do I deploy the fire blanket?

Unzip and remove the blanket from its carry bag. Carefully spread the blanket over the burning lithium-ion battery device, ensuring it is fully covered to isolate the fire and suppress flames and fumes.

What is the peak temperature the blanket can withstand?

The blanket is made from DIN 91489 approved fabric and can withstand peak temperatures up to 1300°C.

What are the dimensions of the blanket?

The blanket measures 3 meters by 3 meters.

What is the warranty period for this fire blanket?

The Firechief LithShield Tough Battery Fire Blanket comes with a 5-year warranty.

Is the blanket suitable for use in a home environment?

Yes, it is suitable for homes, especially where devices with lithium-ion batteries like laptops and mobile phones are used.

How should I store the fire blanket?

Store the blanket in its compact carry bag in a cool, dry place, ensuring it is easily accessible in case of an emergency.

What should I do after using the blanket?

If the blanket was used to extinguish a fire, it should be considered compromised and safely disposed of. If deployed but not significantly damaged, inspect it for damage before considering reuse, though replacement is recommended for guaranteed safety.

Troubleshooting

Blanket does not seem to extinguish the fire effectively.

Ensure the blanket is fully covering the lithium-ion battery fire. For larger fires, multiple blankets or professional firefighting equipment may be necessary. This blanket is designed to slow and isolate, not necessarily extinguish large, uncontrolled fires on its own.

Carry bag is difficult to open in an emergency.

Practice opening the carry bag periodically to ensure you are familiar with its mechanism. Ensure the storage location does not impede access to the bag.

Blanket appears damaged or worn.

Inspect the blanket regularly for any signs of wear, tear, or damage. If the fabric is compromised, it should be replaced immediately to ensure its effectiveness in a fire event.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly effective at containing and isolating lithium-ion battery fires.
  • Excellent high-temperature resistance up to 1300°C.
  • Reduces the risk from toxic fumes and chemicals.
  • Lightweight and simple to deploy, even in demanding situations.
  • Comes with a substantial 5-year warranty.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for lithium-ion battery fires; may not be ideal for other fire types.
  • Requires careful storage to ensure it is readily accessible in an emergency.
  • Larger size (3m x 3m) might be cumbersome for very confined spaces if not deployed correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Firechief LithShield Tough Battery Fire Blanket requires no complex setup. It is delivered in a compact carry bag, designed for immediate access. Ensure the bag is stored in a location that is easily accessible and clearly marked, ideally near areas where lithium-ion battery devices are commonly used or stored.

Compatibility:

This blanket is specifically designed to combat lithium-ion battery fires, making it compatible with incidents involving laptops, mobile phones, power tools, electric vehicles, and other devices utilizing lithium-ion battery technology. While it can be used to smother other types of small fires, its primary efficacy is proven against Li-ion battery fires.

Care:

After use, if the blanket has been exposed to fire or heat, it should be thoroughly inspected. If it has been used to extinguish a fire, it may be contaminated and should be disposed of safely according to local regulations. If it has been deployed but not significantly damaged by fire, it can be carefully folded back into its bag, provided it is completely cool and free from debris. However, for optimal safety and performance, a blanket used in a fire event should be considered compromised and replaced. Store the blanket in its original carry bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and corrosive substances.
