AUTOMATIC SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE FIRES
Targeted water dispersion directed at the underside of the vehicle to control heat development.
EV FIREPRO - ULTIMATE SAFETY
FOR YOUR PARKING AREA
EV FirePro is a fixed fire suppression system for electric vehicle parking facilities, designed to detect fires at an early stage and help limit fire spread before it can escalate.
Its floor-mounted design delivers targeted cooling beneath the vehicle while providing directional water distribution to safeguard nearby vehicles, building structures, and other property — offering enhanced protection for parking garages and enclosed parking environments.
The purpose is not to prevent thermal runaway in the battery itself, but to limit its consequences by reducing the spread of heat and fire and creating safer conditions for rescue operations.
EV FirePro – Addressing Fire Risks in Electric Vehicle Parking Environments
At SpiderFire, we understand the vital role electric vehicles play in the transition toward more sustainable transportation and the development of modern building infrastructure.
As the number of electric vehicles continues to grow, property owners, fire engineers, insurers, and emergency services are assessing how enclosed parking environments may be affected by the unique challenges associated with lithium-ion battery fires.
While EV battery fires remain relatively rare, incidents involving thermal runaway can present significant challenges. These may include intense heat generation, the release of toxic gases, the risk of re-ignition, and restricted access within enclosed parking facilities.
EV FirePro has been developed to address these evolving risks.
Designed in close collaboration with firefighting professionals and independently tested in Europe, EV FirePro supports early intervention efforts, helps limit fire spread within parking structures, and complements existing fire protection systems as part of a layered fire safety strategy for electric vehicles.
Early detection and
automatic activation
- Advanced thermal sensors provide rapid detection of lithium-ion battery fires.
- The system is automatically activated, enabling an immediate response without requiring human intervention.
Integrated Fire Detection
and Alarm Systems
-
Seamless integration with the building’s fire detection and alarm systems enables rapid communication and coordinated response.
-
Occupants are alerted immediately, while alarms can be automatically transmitted to emergency services for faster incident notification.
Targeted Water Distribution
Helps Limit Fire Spread
-
Protects nearby vehicles and surrounding building structures from the effects of fire and heat.
-
By helping to contain the incident, the system reduces the risk of extensive fire damage and prevents fire spread between vehicles.
Targeted water
spray technology
- Nozzles under the vehicle deliver water directly to the electric vehicle's lithium-ion battery
- Effective cooling and suppression prevent intense heat buildup.
ENHANCED SAFETY FOR
EMERGENCY RESPONDERS
Li-ion battery fires can emit vapour clouds of toxic gasses. Without EV FirePro in operation, emergency responders may need to get close to the vehicle risking exposure to these gases, jet like flames and possible explosions.
Getting water to the underside of the vehicle to cool the battery pack is impossible via traditional overhead water sprinkler systems. By suppressing the fire right from the initial stages, EV FirePro can prevent flames from spreading to nearby vehicles and causing structural damage to buildings. EV FirePro reduces the overall fire intensity and decreases risks for emergency responders.
