Fire Safety Organizations Warn About Electrical Hazard in Fire Blankets Used for Electric Vehicle Fire Extinguishment, Especially Those with Battery Involvement
In a recent development, the Fire Protection Research Foundation and the Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) have released a notice addressing a potential hazard involving fire blankets used for electric vehicle fire suppression efforts with battery involvement.
The notice is part of an ongoing research project conducted by the Fire Safety Research Institute for the Fire Safety of Batteries and Electric Vehicles. The project aims to improve understanding of hazards generated by electric vehicle battery fires and develop firefighting tactics for effective electric vehicle fire control.
The notice does not indicate any immediate danger or recall of electric vehicles or fire blankets currently in use. However, it serves as a reminder of the importance of continuous research and development in the field of electric vehicle safety.
The notice focuses on the capability of an electric vehicle fire blanket to suppress and establish control of a burning electric vehicle with confirmed battery pack fire involvement. The analysis of video and data from the FSRI experiments is ongoing and will be addressed in detail in FSRI's forthcoming electric vehicle research report.
The research report will be available at fsri.org. It is important to note that the notice does not specify the nature or severity of the potential hazard involving fire blankets.
It is worth mentioning that the search results do not contain specific information about the name of the organization conducting research on effective fire extinguishing tactics for electric vehicles. Nevertheless, the ongoing research is a testament to the commitment towards ensuring the safety of electric vehicles and their users.
In conclusion, while the notice does not suggest an immediate cause for concern, it underscores the need for continued research and development in the field of electric vehicle safety. The public is encouraged to stay informed and visit fsri.org for updates on the research report.
