Parking and Auto Shop EV Fire Safety Solutions
High-Density Spaces, High EV Fire Risk
In parking decks, underground garages, and auto service bays, the risk of an EV fire is magnified by density, limited ventilation, and high vehicle turnover. When a lithium-ion battery enters thermal runaway, radiant heat, toxic gas, and secondary ignition risks escalate rapidly—especially indoors.
Unlike combustion engine fires, EV battery fires are driven by internal cell combustion, often continuing even after visible flames are extinguished. These fires can reach temperatures over 1,100°C (2,012°F) and re-ignite unexpectedly, making early containment critical.
Key Safety Challenges
Tight vehicle spacing increases the chance of fire spreading to nearby units
Enclosed structures trap heat and smoke, affecting air quality and building integrity
Battery ignition risks rise during diagnostics, charging, or post-accident inspection
Hot work operations in service bays require controlled flame environments
Lack of immediate-response tools delays suppression during the critical first minutes
Safeprotex Strategy
Safeprotex delivers a turnkey solution to help facility managers and shop operators act fast in the face of an EV fire incident. Our system includes:
EV Fire Containment Blanket – For rapid vehicle encapsulation and flame isolation
Battery Isolation Mat – Shields flooring and adjacent vehicles from vertical heat transfer
Fireproof Document Bag – Protects repair logs, inspection files, and legal paperwork
Station Cabinet – Wall- or cart-mounted unit housing gear for fast deployment during emergencies
All equipment is tested to withstand sustained heat above 1,100°C, with certifications including UL 94, DIN 4102, and full compliance with DIN SPEC 91489—the international standard for EV battery fire containment. Layout recommendations align with NFPA 70E, OSHA 1910.252, and local fire codes for vehicle service environments.
