Bridgehill fire blankets added to CheckFire’s lithium-ion safety range

CheckFire Ltd has announced the addition of Bridgehill fire blankets to its LFX range of lithium-ion battery fire safety solutions.

The fire blankets are designed to contain and extinguish lithium-ion battery fires, which are an increasing fire safety concern in industries relying on these energy sources.

They can be used for electric and fossil fuel vehicles, industrial equipment, and various other applications.

Lithium-ion battery fires are uniquely challenging due to their intense heat, toxic gases, and potential to reignite even after being extinguished.

Bridgehill fire blankets aim to address these issues effectively.

How Bridgehill fire blankets address battery fire risks

Bridgehill fire blankets work by smothering flames, isolating harmful smoke, and preventing fire spread.

Unlike traditional methods, these blankets deploy in seconds and do not rely on water or foam.

The blankets are available in multiple sizes, making them suitable for car showrooms, garages, warehouses, tunnels, and ferries.

They require two people for deployment, providing a rapid and effective response to fire incidents.

Additionally, the blankets are environmentally friendly, as they do not emit toxic fumes or hazardous substances during use.

Global standards and industry trust

Certified to international standards, including EN 13501-1 and DIN 91489:2024-11, Bridgehill fire blankets have undergone rigorous testing to ensure reliability.

The blankets are already in use by global brands such as Tesla, Formula 1, and Volkswagen.

They have been recognised as a reliable solution for addressing fire risks associated with lithium-ion batteries.

Cameron Robins, managing director of CheckFire, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Bridgehill to bring its market-leading fire blanket range to the UK.

“With lithium-ion batteries playing a growing role in everyday life, this partnership offers a timely solution to one of the most pressing fire safety challenges of our time.”

UK distribution and shared goals

Bridgehill fire blankets will now be distributed in the UK through CheckFire.

The collaboration between the two companies aims to improve fire safety solutions across industries.

Frank Brubakken, CEO of Bridgehill, said: “We are proud to welcome CheckFire as a distributor of Bridgehill fire blankets in the UK.

“With their extensive expertise in fire safety, we are excited about the opportunities this collaboration will bring.”

The partnership highlights a shared commitment to enhancing fire safety measures for lithium-ion battery incidents.
