Electric vehicles, lithium-powered tools, and e-mobility devices are transforming the world around us. But as lithium battery fires become an increasing concern, one question remains:

Are the solutions we trust really up to the task?

When a single experiment conducted outside established testing protocols went viral on social media, it sparked debate across the fire safety industry and raised questions about one of the most widely used fire containment tools: the fire blanket. In this episode, we separate fact from fiction. 

 Join us as we speak with the team behind Bridgehill, a global leader in extreme fire blankets. With clients in more than 50 countries and a dedicated R&D department, Bridgehill has spent years testing fire blankets on EVs, lithium batteries, forklifts, and buildings under some of the harshest conditions imaginable.
