The Firebox is a patented containment and isolation storage system for damaged electric vehicles susceptible to fires for tow companies, impound lots, auto repair centers, collision shops and auto auctions. Vigilance regarding the potential fire hazard is paramount when storing compromised EVs, not only to curb additional property damage but also to safeguard the environment and public from potential harm. Fires can erupt immediately upon impact in an electric vehicle accident; however, endless incidents unfold long after the battery system sustains damage. Extensively documented, thermal runaway can manifest hours, days or even months following the initial car collision.
Place the at-risk electric vehicle into the Firebox, with the built in winch or trucks & trailers.
Observe for thermal runaway. Call 911 and let the fire department flood the firebox with water. Only limited water volume is required to sufficiently submerge the battery system quickly and safely.
Dispose of the contaminated water. Call your hazardous waste company to properly dispose of the water.
Maximize Storage Fee Revenue: Increase opportunities to generate additional revenue through enhanced storage fee structures. Specialized services command a premium price. It is common to charge $150-$600 per day for isolation and storage of EVs.
Strengthen Competitive Edge: Boost your chances of securing contracts with law enforcement and insurance companies.
Improve Storage Flexibility: Use less space and facilitate easy relocation and maneuvering within storage areas. Simply move the Firebox with a forklift or loader to make more room in your lot.
Safeguard Your Assets: Protect your personal property, business and livelihood with enhanced fire security.
Reduce Toxic Airborne Contaminants: The Firebox effectively and quickly suppresses fires, significantly reducing the release of harmful pollutants into the air.
Prevent Groundwater Contamination: By containing the contaminated runoff, the Firebox protects groundwater from hazardous chemicals.
Reduce Water Usage: Containment systems require considerably less water to suppress EV fires, conserving a vital resource and reducing associated costs.
Toxic Chemical Exposure: EV fires release over 100 harmful chemicals, including hydrofluoric acid (HF), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen chloride (HCl). These substances can cause severe respiratory issues, organ damage or even death upon exposure.
Heavy Metal Contamination: Fires can release heavy metals like nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), lithium (Li) and manganese (Mn), posing risks of long-term health effects such as neurological damage and kidney dysfunction if inhaled or ingested.
Prolonged Firefighting Risks: EV fires burn hotter and longer than traditional vehicle fires, often taking hours to extinguish. This extended duration increases firefighters' exposure to hazardous toxins and physical exhaustion, heightening health risks.
