EV Safety Inc. has broadened the availability of its FireGuard Fire‑Resistant Parking Barrier and related training programs, aiming to help auto repair shops better protect workers and facilities from the risks associated with fast‑spreading electric‑vehicle (EV) thermal events.

The company said the expansion includes both physical safety equipment—such as its FireGuard barrier designed to slow or contain thermal runaway—and online training modules that teach technicians how to recognize, isolate, and respond to high‑voltage battery incidents.
According to EV Safety Inc., the FireGuard barrier is engineered to create a temporary fire‑resistant separation between a burning EV and surrounding vehicles or structures. The goal is not to extinguish a lithium‑ion battery fire—something that often requires tens of thousands of litres of water—but to buy time, limit radiant heat exposure, and prevent a single vehicle fire from escalating into a multi‑vehicle or facility‑wide incident.
Industry groups have been warning for years that EV thermal runaway can spread rapidly, sometimes reigniting hours or days after the initial event. Fire departments in North America and Europe have reported multiple cases where EVs undergoing routine service unexpectedly entered thermal runaway, prompting evacuations and extended suppression operations.
EV Safety Inc. said its expanded training curriculum focuses on:
- Safe EV intake procedures
- Battery damage assessment
- Isolation and quarantine protocols
- Use of fire‑resistant barriers and containment tools
- Emergency response coordination with local fire services
