FAQ - Frequently asked questions

The right size of fire blanket depends largely on the size of the burning object and its size. An e-scooter requires a smaller blanket than an e-car or a forklift.

Roughly measure how large the blanket needs to be so that it still lies flat on the ground around the object, with a 1-2m overhang. Don't forget to take the height into account (e.g. SUV). This is the only way to ensure that toxic gases remain under the blanket for the most part and that flames have no chance of igniting the area around the source of the fire.

Here are some examples of common sizes:

Automobiles:
Larger vehicles such as station wagons, SUVs, sedans, forklifts: The fire blanket should be at least 6x8 meters (taking into account the height of the vehicle).

Medium-sized vehicles: The fire blanket should be at least 5x6m in size.

Smaller electric vehicles, e.g. warehouse robots: The fire blanket should be at least 3x4m in size.

Appliances with batteries, such as cordless screwdrivers, garden tools: The fire blanket should be at least 1.5x1.5m in size.

Cell phones and laptops: The fire blanket should be at least 1.5x1.5m in size.

There are also differences in the materials used. The fire blankets differ, for example, in their composition, material thickness and temperature resistance. This is crucial, for example, if the blankets are to be used directly on batteries, not installed, as in vehicles.

When making your purchase, don't forget the weight of the blankets. A large blanket can quickly weigh 25-45 kg. Here, for example, there is the option of storing it in a trolley.
