FireBlanket ULTRA

FireBlanket ULTRA is a professional fire containment blanket for electric vehicle and lithium-ion battery incidents, designed to isolate vehicle fires, reduce heat and smoke spread, and support controlled mitigation in high-risk environments.

Detailed Overview

The FireBlanket ULTRA is the most robust fire blanket in the Fire Isolator range, developed for professional response to vehicle and electric vehicle (EV) fire incidents where conventional extinguishment methods may be insufficient.

Manufactured from premium-grade material with a double silicone coating, the FireBlanket ULTRA is designed to contain and isolate fires, reduce heat and smoke spread, and limit collateral damage. The blanket is reusable up to 30 deployments when properly cleaned and maintained.

It is suitable for both internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles, including incidents involving lithium-ion batteries.

Operational Use

The FireBlanket ULTRA is intended for use by:

  • Fire and rescue services

  • Emergency response organizations

  • Parking facility operators

  • Infrastructure owners

  • Industrial and commercial operators managing vehicle fire risk

By restricting oxygen intake, the blanket isolates the fire source, suppresses flame spread, and significantly reduces smoke and toxic fumes—creating safer conditions for responders and surrounding assets.

Why EV Incidents Require Different Measures

Electric vehicle fires may involve thermal runaway, prolonged heat release, toxic gas emissions, and re-ignition risk. Effective response therefore prioritizes containment and controlled mitigation, rather than rapid extinguishment alone.

The FireBlanket ULTRA supports this approach by isolating the incident, stabilizing the fire environment, and preventing escalation.

Professional Context

Supplied in Norway through E.R.T. Nordic AS, the FireBlanket ULTRA is selected based on:

  • Operational suitability

  • Regulatory alignment

  • Proven performance in real-world fire scenarios

  • Compatibility with Nordic emergency response environments

Key Benefits
  • Rapid containment of vehicle and EV fires

  • Reduced risk of fire spread and secondary damage

  • Significant reduction of smoke and toxic fumes

  • Improved access and safety for fire crews

  • Designed for repeated professional use

Deployment and Handling

The FireBlanket ULTRA is designed for fast and intuitive deployment, even under high-stress conditions.

  • Large, highly visible colored loops for safe handling

  • Suitable for all vehicle sizes, from small city cars to large SUVs and pickups

  • Can be deployed in parking garages, parking lots, shopping malls, ferry decks, and other vehicle environments

Thermal Performance and Reusability
  • Peak temperature resistance: up to 2050 °C

  • Continuous working temperature: 1400 °C

  • Reusable: up to 30 uses

  • Cleanable after deployment

By depriving the fire of oxygen, the blanket limits smoke propagation and stabilizes the incident, allowing controlled firefighting operations.
