How the System Works:
- While our EV fire Suppressor Blanket and Mister have the ability to work independently of each other, when used together, they create a comprehensive system to shut down a thermal runaway event.
- Covering a vehicle quickly with an EV blanket provides a measure of containment and protection while the Mister delivers a water mist spray directly to the vehicle’s undercarriage chassis to cool the battery modules and help mitigate and dampen vapor cloud ignitions.
Mister Dimensions:
Approx. Weight: 12 LBS
Low Profile Clearance: 2.25" Tall at the Mister head
Assembled Length: 92"
Approx. Case Size: 9.75" x 20.5" x 5.5"
Mister Features:
- (1) 6” Diameter “no tip” Mister spray head with 15 individual omni-directional spray mist nozzles that deliver true firefighting droplets <1,000 microns
- (1) Valve pipe length (with twist to open valve and an “always active” universal swivel)
- (3) Standard pipe lengths
- Each connection has large threading for ease of assembly
- Hose connection has a 1.5” forestry lug fitting (compatible with US fire hoses and trucks)
- (1) In-line mesh / filter sleeve
- Carry and deployment-friendly / high visibility bag
- Zippered hard case (for extra gaskets, in-line screens, and / or spanner wrenches)
How it Works:
- With 100 psi at the Mister head, a 10 gpm low-flow water mist spray will be delivered directly to the vehicle's undercarriage to cool the chassis, pulling heat away from the battery modules, to shut down a thermal runaway event. (firefighting droplet size / <1,000 microns)
- Tests validate the Mister’s low-flow rate is as effective as high-flow models, while preserving water resources and reducing the amount of toxic runoff. The fine mist can also help mitigate and dampen vapor cloud ignitions that could occur underneath the EV blanket.
- In certain situations, the Mister may be used for stand-alone cooling and has been found to offer effective undercarriage coverage in winds up to 25 mph.

3rd Party Tested:
FAA 25.853B Flammability Test - PASSED
FAA 25.853 Flammability Test - PASSED
FAA AC20-135 Fireproof 2000 F (1093.3 C) oil burner test - Light flaring on cold side as protective coating burns off, otherwise zero flame pass through for the entire test.
Standard EV Blanket Features:
- 1 EV Fire Suppressor Blanket (standard)
- Color: Unique bright white fabric with reflective straps for greater visibility.
- Ultra lightweight single layer materials with special lab formulated coating on each side.
- Blanket Materials Melting Point: 2050 (F)+
- Blanket Materials Softening Point: 1350 (F) - 1600 (F)
- Extreme heat, reinforced threaded seams.
- Blanket resistant to most chemical reagents and corrosive agents.
- Unique reflective double strap handle system for secure deployment and increased visibility.
- Reflective tape centerlines, so the responders always know where the center of the blanket is.
- Unique harness loops placed strategically around the perimeter of the blanket.
- Quick roll out deployment strap system doubles as a whole vehicle wrap around cinch (45’ length in case the responders need to secure the EV Fire Suppressor Blanket tight around the base of the vehicle).
Blanket Carrying Bag & Deployment:
- Water resistant material
- Two person carry straps + padded shoulder strap (single person carry not recommended)
- Reinforced red “DRAG & GO” pad on bag.
- No dumping-out, “DROP & GO” quick access zipper bag.
- Deployment simple “CENTER ON THREAT” arrow on the outside of the bag.
- Step-by-step instruction card on the outside of the bag.
- Note: EV Fire Suppressor Extendable Poles sold separately (highly recommended for use on taller vehicles and/or to keep responders farther away from the threat).
How the EV Blanket Works:
- Covering a vehicle quickly with an EV blanket, when done with a good ground seal, will provide a measure of containment and protection. It helps deprive the fire of free oxygen, thus suppressing flames, which in turn instantly lowers the temperature and decreases the smoke volume.
- An EV blanket may also be used as a fire break (covering an object to protect it) or a fire wall (creating a barrier between the fire and other property).
Blanket Multiple Uses?
The EV Suppressor Blanket is designated for single only. Other brands may claim “multiple uses,” but then fail to address the decontamination aspect. Once used, a blanket is saturated with toxins and heavy metals. Another issue is coating burn off, which happens with direct flame contact. The blanket is forever changed and cannot claim to be as effective as it was when new. Who is qualified, outside of a lab, to quantify the damage to a blanket, fire after fire, with confidence it will be effective during the next incident? With those thoughts in mind, we recommend you not spending the extra money on a "multi-use" option. (We've actually been told that the majority of the multi-use blankets sold by our competitors are discarded after the 1st use due to the reasons mentioned and also due to the difficulty of repacking them--- especially when wet). Additionally, the article linked below states "We've already had a situation in Victoria where two firefighters suffered cobalt poisoning after attending an EV fire, and have now been permanently disabled as a result."

We cannot fathom why would anyone want to risk this, especially considering the vehicle owner's insurance companies are being billed for the Fire Dept. replacement blankets?
Recommended for use with a pair of Brimstone EV Fire Suppressor Extendable Poles to help keep responders farther away from the threat. Poles are NOT included with the standard Brimstone EV Fire Suppressor System.
