NoFloods FlexWall – The Smart Solution for Fighting EV Fires
Fighting EV fires is a challenge for firefighters, especially in today’s rapidly advancing technological era, where the EV market is surging due to its pivotal role in curbing carbon emissions.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their eco-friendly credentials and energy efficiency features.
However, as with any technology, there are risks involved, including the possibility of fires.
In the event of an EV fire, it’s essential to have effective firefighting equipment at hand, and one innovative system that can aid in fighting EV fires is the NoFloods Flexwall.
Using the NoFloods Fexwall for Fighting EV Fires
The NoFloods FlexWall is an innovative solution for effectively fighting EV fires (electric vehicle fires) while also conserving precious resources i.e. time and water.
In an era where the incidence of EV fires is on the rise, particularly in settings like ferries, parking structures and similar environments, this innovative approach to fire control presents a compelling alternative.
Unlike conventional methods employed in extinguishing vehicle fires, the challenge posed by EV fires is distinct and demanding.
The conventional approach, often involving copious amounts of water, frequently encounters difficulties in terms of accessibility of water.
Moreover, there’s an inherent danger of battery re-ignition which can persist for up to 15 hours after the initial fire outbreak, potentially requiring a 24-hour response.
And this is where the NoFloods FlexWall comes into play.
This cutting-edge solution eliminates the cumbersome and hazardous process of moving the affected vehicle.
The inspiration for the NoFloods FlexWall was born out of the recognition of its potential by both our customers and industry partners.
They encouraged us to develop an efficient and cost-effective solution that can be deployed to aid in fighting EV fires.
And this is where the NoFloods FlexWall shines!
The key strength of the NoFloods FlexWall lies in its adaptability and agility.
Its lightweight design and flexibility make it a practical tool that can be effectively managed by a small team.
Remarkably, the FlexWall not only stands as a viable alternative to existing containment solutions but also complements larger systems seamlessly.
Perhaps the most significant advantage of the NoFloods FlexWall in fighting EV fires is its capability to be deployed faster compared to conventional methods.
This rapid response potential is crucial in emergency situations as it can help to mitigate risks and conserve critical resources.
Here are a couple of pictures demonstrating how the Flexwall is an effective solution for putting off EV fires.

Benefits of Using the NoFloods FlexWall for Fighting EV Fires
1. Flexibility for Quick and Easy Implementation
One of the primary advantages of the NoFloods FlexWall is its exceptional flexibility.
When confronted with an electric vehicle (EV) fire emergency, time is of the essence.
The FlexWall can be swiftly and easily deployed, ensuring a rapid response to contain and extinguish the fire.
This quick implementation can be critical in preventing the escalation of the fire and minimizing potential damage.
2. No Need to Move the Vehicle
Traditional methods of fighting EV fires often necessitate the challenging and risky task of moving the burning vehicle.
But this is not the case with the NoFloods FlexWall.
Its design eliminates the need to relocate the EV, reducing the associated hassle and risk.
This benefit is particularly significant in scenarios where moving the vehicle could be unsafe or impractical.
3. Adapts to the Terrain
The versatility of the NoFloods FlexWall allows it to adapt to a wide range of terrains and environments.
Whether it’s a parking lot, parking garage, ship, or any other location, the FlexWall can be easily deployed.
This adaptability ensures that it can effectively address EV fires in diverse settings, making it a versatile solution for various applications.
4. Low Water Consumption with Recycling
Water conservation and environmental considerations are crucial in modern firefighting.
The NoFloods FlexWall addresses this concern by optimizing water usage.
It can efficiently recycle the necessary amount of extinguishing water, significantly reducing water consumption compared to traditional methods of fighting EV fires.
This eco-friendly approach not only helps in conserving water resources but also minimizes the environmental impact of firefighting operations.
Components of the NoFloods Flexwall
The NoFloods FlexWall consists of the following modules:
- 4 sections of 5-10 meters: Highly adaptable in length.
- 4 corner modules: Allow precise fitting to the vehicle’s shape.
We recommend keeping the solution intact as this can save you crucial minutes in an emergency.
Alternatively, you can assemble all modules except one section, depending on the temperature, and then easily pull the barrier over the vehicle.
This straightforward implementation can make a significant difference in reducing deployment time and minimizing damage.
The NoFloods FlexWall is a great supplement to fire blankets and containers.
We recognize that it’s not a matter of choosing one over the other but rather, employing a combined strategy for optimal results.
By investing in the NoFloods FlexWall, you gain access to a highly effective and reliable solution for safeguarding against electric vehicle fires.
Let’s work together to make our roads and parking facilities safer for everyone 🙂
