[THESAFEKOREA] How to prepare for battery fires on board? EX-GRIP pouch

 


How to prepare for battery fires on board?

The moment you board a plane and begin your journey
can be the exciting start of a trip for some,
and the beginning of an important business mission for others.

However,
did you know that incidents of lithium-ion battery fires
on board aircraft have been steadily increasing?

As these incidents rise,
airlines are tightening regulations on the use and storage of power banks.

The reason is simple:

👉 Battery fires have fundamentally different characteristics
from ordinary fires.


Characteristics of Lithium-Ion Battery Fires

When a lithium-ion battery catches fire, it exhibits the following characteristics.


👉 Considering these characteristics, preventing the spread
in the early stage is far more important than extinguishing the fire.


Best early response to battery fires?

Let’s compare the main response methods
for battery fires on board aircraft.

1️⃣ Fire Extinguisher
Can suppress initial flames
❗ But thermal runaway continues
👉 High risk exposure and only a temporary solution

2️⃣ Fire Blanket (Smothering)
Can block oxygen
❗ Internal reaction continues
❗ Risk of explosion when gases accumulate and re-expose to air
👉 Thermal runaway persists, with potential explosion risk

3️⃣ Water Immersion
Currently the most effective method
👉 Directly lowers battery temperature
👉 Suppresses thermal runaway at its source

However, in reality,
applying water immersion inside an aircraft cabin
requires prior awareness and preparation.

Aircraft cabins are confined spaces,
where immediate access to water is limited,
making rapid response difficult.

What is the key to early water-immersion response for battery fires on board?

To enable faster water-based response in aircraft environments,
the following conditions are essential:

✔ Early signs must be detected quickly
✔ Anyone should be able to respond immediately upon detection
✔ It should be easy to carry and store for use at any time

EX-GRIP for Early Battery Fire Suppression

EX-GRIP is a safety pouch designed to prevent the early spread of battery fires.

It is developed with consideration of
the unique characteristics of battery fires
and the confined environment of aircraft cabins,

helping to minimize potential damage.

EX-GRIP is made of high heat-resistant specialized material
that helps prevent the spread of fire.

With its water-absorbent fabric,
it enables effective water immersion,

allowing the pouch to be submerged as is
for rapid initial response in emergency situations.

When stored on board, EX-GRIP can be hung using the loop,

allowing it to be placed in a visible and easily identifiable location.

With its magnetic closure,
it can be opened and closed effortlessly,

making it convenient to use
not only on board but also in everyday life.

✈️ Our daily lives are always in motion,
and with just a little more preparation,
they can become much safer.

Battery fires are
a risk that is difficult to completely prevent,
👉 but one that can be effectively controlled
through early response.

With EX-GRIP,
why not take your everyday safety
to the next level?

[THESAFEKOREA] Vehicle fire early response prevented major damage

Vehicle fire early response prevented major damage Recently, a vehicle fire occurred in an apartment parking garage in Godeok-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul. Although the fire broke out during the early morning hours and had the potential to cause serious damage due to the nature of parking garages, the rapid initial response by a citizen at the scene helped prevent the fire from spreading further. [Related Article] According to reports, a citizen at the scene quickly noticed an explosion sound and  smoke coming from underneath the vehicle, and immediately responded by calling 119 and using a fire extinguisher for initial firefighting. Due to the structure of parking garages, where vehicles are closely parked together, there was a risk of the fire spreading to nearby vehicles. However, thanks to the rapid initial response, the situation was contained without major spread or damage. The scale of damage depends on the initial response to a fire This incident once again highlighted how...

  Protect EV charging areas from fire with SAFEDOME As the adoption of electric vehicles continues to grow rapidly, the density of EV charging areas in parking facilities is also increasing. Unlike conventional vehicle fires, EV fires can spread rapidly to surrounding vehicles and facilities within a short period of time due to thermal runaway characteristics. In these environments, the availability of effective fire response equipment can directly impact the scale of damage, making it essential to prepare response measures in advance.   Why practical fire response solutions are necesssary Fire response equipment is not meaningful simply by being present. It must be immediately usable in real-world situations, and designed so that anyone can respond quickly. If the system is complicated to install, requires significant manpower, or makes immediate response difficult, the critical golden time for initial response can easily be lost. Especially in EV fires, the key i...

Recurring vehicle fires in everyday life Vehicle fires that threaten our daily lives fires can occur anywhere vehicles are present. and hope to offer some insight into fire safety in our everyday lives. these incidents continue to make the news even recently. and even vehicles charging at highway rest stops, From apartment underground parking lots to logistics center parking areas, In this post, we will take a look at recent vehicle fire cases. EV fire in an apartment underground parking garage in Suwon On the afternoon of the 14th, a fire broke out in a parked electric vehicle in the underground parking lot of an apartment in Jangan-gu, Suwon. Firefighters who responded to the report forcibly opened the vehicle’s hood to extinguish the fire inside, bringing the situation under control in about 50 minutes. EV smoke incident during charging at a Yongin rest stop On the 13th, a smoke incident occurred from the underside of an electric vehicle while it was charging at a rest stop in Cheoi...
