Lithium-ion batteries have become more common as the number of devices using these high-energy batteries continues to increase, covering almost every aspect of modern life. From phones and computers to gardening tools and cars, batteries provide a clean and environmentally friendly energy source.
On June 24, 2024, a fire broke out at a battery factory in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, near Seoul, South Korea. Officials reported that an explosion of lithium batteries might have caused the fire, which killed 23 workers.
A total of 102 people were working at the factory before the fire. The fire started around 10:30 a.m. when workers were inspecting and packaging batteries on the second floor. One box of batteries began to smoke, and workers tried to separate the smoking boxes. However, the factory floor quickly filled with smoke, and more batteries began to explode.
The fire is one of the deadliest in South Korea in recent years. In 2008, a fire and explosion in a refrigerated warehouse in Icheon City killed 40 workers. In 2018, a fire in a small hospital without a sprinkler system in Miryang killed 46 people. In 2020, a fire at a warehouse under construction in Icheon, south of Seoul, killed 38 construction workers.

The car fire blanket developed by Huarui Fiberglass has a maximum working temperature of up to 1000℃, and there are a variety of materials for you to choose from: silicone ordinary car fire blanket, silicone coated worsted car fire blanket, high silica car fire blanket.
The biggest use of car fire blanket is to isolate the spread of flames. It can effectively isolate the air, control the burning of fire, and prevent harm to more people and other valuable items.
It should be noted that certain types of lithium-ion batteries generate their own oxygen during the process of thermal runaway and therefore the fires will be likely to continue to burn for an extended period of time.
The Blanket may be folded to give a double layer if the battery cells are exposed and the battery size is significantly smaller than the
Blanket.
