BRIDGEHILL Car Standard 2 — EV Car Fire Blanket, 19.8 × 26 ft

The Bridgehill Car Standard 2 is a vehicle fire blanket measuring 19.8 × 26 ft, built for cars and SUVs. It is reusable up to 10 times and designed for single-site readiness in workshops, dealerships and parking facilities. Etron Parts & Tools supplies it across the Americas, certified to DIN SPEC 91489.

What this blanket actually does

It does not extinguish a fire. It isolates one.

Deployed over a burning vehicle, the blanket cuts off the oxygen feeding the fire. The vehicle burns itself out under containment while the building, the adjacent vehicles and the people around it stay outside the event. No water is required, which matters in a workshop where water on a high-voltage system creates a second problem.

The outcome you are buying is one vehicle lost instead of a workshop.

Why an EV fire is a different problem

A lithium-ion battery in thermal runaway generates its own oxygen and can reignite hours after it appears to be out. An extinguisher interrupts combustion; it does nothing about a cell chain that is still propagating inside a sealed pack.

Containment is the only response a workshop can realistically execute alone. That is what this product is for.

Collision shops carry the highest exposure of any buyer: a damaged pack can ignite days after the accident, while the vehicle sits in the bay.

Which vehicles it covers

19.8 × 26 ft covers standard passenger cars and most SUVs.

If your work includes full-size SUVs, vans or light trucks, the Car Pro X XL at 24.6 × 32.8 ft is the correct size. Coverage is not a comfort margin — an undersized blanket leaves an oxygen path and defeats the purpose.

Car Standard 2 or Car Pro X — how to choose

The deciding factor is deployment frequency, not price.

Car Standard 2 is the right blanket for a site that needs one, ready, for an event that may never come. Reusable up to 10 times — more than adequate for a workshop, a dealership forecourt or a parking structure.

Car Pro X uses a graphite core, is reusable up to 30 times and adds eyelets for controlled handling. It is built for organisations that expect to deploy repeatedly and train with the equipment: fire services, towing yards, car transport.

If you are buying preparedness rather than an operational tool, this is the model.

Certification

DIN SPEC 91489 is the one to quote to an insurer or a safety auditor. Before November 2024 there was no common test for EV fire blankets, and "fire blanket" described products of very different capability. It is what gives a compliance officer something to point at.
