At Cunningham, our mission is to enhance lives through the creation of Innovative Protective Solutions. This purpose resonates strongly with our line of Electric Vehicle (EV) Fire Blankets, where safety meets innovation.
Designed to effectively manage and contain fires in not only diesel and petrol cars, but hybrid and Electric Vehicles as well. Our fire blankets play a crucial role in controlling flames and preventing the spread of toxic fumes. With a remarkable temperature resistance of up to 1600ºC, they provide a formidable defence against the most challenging conditions. Each blanket is contained within a waterproof carrying bag, ensuring quick and hassle-free deployment when needed.
While our standard blanket size is 8 x 6 meters, we recognise that different scenarios demand different solutions. Hence, our blankets can be tailored to suit any dimensions, providing flexibility to meet your specific requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you use an EV Fire Blanket?
We have made our fire blankets easy to use so they can be used by anyone in an emergency without training. Simply lay the collapsible bag flat on the ground and rip the easy-to-pull Velcro fittings. Unfold the blanket using the straps to pull it over the entire top of the vehicle. Tuck in bottom edges if safe to do so and leave in place until emergency services arrive.
How long will it take to control the fire?
In any car fire situation, our EV Fire Blankets will control the flames within seconds. No fire blankets will entirely extinguish a fire but it is crucial it is used soon after a fire begins to reduce the spread of flames and toxic fumes. The fire blanket should therefore be kept on until the Fire service arrive.
What vehicles are suitable for fire blankets?
Although we state this as an Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket, it can be used for many vehicle types. EV fires reach temperatures much higher the fossil fuel vehicles, therefore fires in diesel and petrol cars, hybrids, forklifts, e-bikes and more are also suitable for this safety solution.
Where can EV Fire Blankets be used?
In a simple answer, anywhere! In any location where there is a high concentration of cars is the perfect location for fire blankets as a proactive fire safety solution. This includes multistorey carparks, shopping centres, airports, hotels, hospitals, ports and ferries, fuel stations, car showrooms, road tunnels, mechanic garages, care hire companies, factories, warehouses, transport centres, charging stations and anything in between. They are also suitable for individual use at home.
Can the blanket be reused?
Due to extreme temperatures the blankets can come into contact with, we recommend once the blanket has been used, it should not be used again. We suggest it be disposed off and replaced as soon as possible.
Where do you store a fire blanket?
All our EV Fire blankets come as standard folded in a collapsible, waterproof and heavy-duty bag. This protects the blanket from the elements and therefore can be stored outside or inside for easy access. It is manufactured with straps for easy carrying just like a backpack, so it can be moved quickly to any location. It can be stored upright using the straps.
Do I need a fire blanket if I have a fire extinguisher?
Fire blankets are very effective at subduing flames and fumes quickly. They can be deployed and used by anyone without training whereas the use of a fire extinguisher requires correct training and maintenance. The two can be used in conjunction but we recommended the fire service to fully extinguish the fire.
Are they suitable for vehicles other than cars?
Yes! Our blanket can be used for any type of vehicle including forklifts, electric bikes and even machinery. Most blankets on the market are one standard size but we make them in different sizes bespoke to your needs. Our standard ready-to-buy blankets are 8m x 6m. You can contact us here for bespoke sizing options and pricing.
