Used by fire departments, tow operators, and other first responders, the Firebox is a containment system for transport and storage of e-vehicles potentially at risk for thermal runaway and combustion from damage to lithium battery.
Damaged lithium battery-powered vehicles can ignite long after an accident, and can re-ignite weeks after being extinguished. The Firebox provides safe containment for these vehicles, in transport or storage, until your fire department or other specialist has determined the danger is past, thus helping to protect businesses, drivers, employees and the environment.

How It Works
Independent Burn Test
by Southwest Research Institute, 2024
This test was designed to evaluate the integrity of the Firebox™ containment unit during an EV fire. The car inside was deliberately allowed to burn to maximum intensity before water extinguished the flames. At the end of the test, the Firebox™ remained undamaged, as shown in the video below.
