Safeworld fire safety products for New Zealand

The use of lithium batteries has proliferated in recent years, and thermal runaway has become a growing fire risk. Leading distributor Safeworld offers a range of products designed specifically to address this.

Extinguisher portable fire protection

Since 2016, Safeworld New Zealand has been supplying quality extinguisher portable fire protection products and outstanding service,” said Fireworld Australia’s Robert Hall.

“Safeworld is the New Zealand distributor for Ruihua, a European Swedish joint venture that blends over 50 years of Swedish fire extinguisher technology with Chinese ingenuity, and which has developed a new fire extinguisher that has passed European NTA 8133:2021 fire testing.”

There are currently a lot of products circulating that do not meet New Zealand’s strict importation and standards requirements, and Safeworld has been working hard to partner with quality suppliers to bring tested and approved products to the New Zealand market.

Bridgehill Fire Blankets

The Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket enables first responders to contain the flames, smoke and toxic fumes generated by a vehicle fire in seconds. It is a proven solution for combatting the risks associated with thermal runaway in lithium batteries to handle fires in electric vehicles effectively.

The Bridgehill Car Fire Blanket is a single-use blanket for locations with a high concentration of cars, such as car dealerships, parking garages, car ferries and car repair shops. It keeps smoke, toxic fumes and flames contained, preventing toxins from escaping into the environment.

More and more often we hear that electric bikes and scooters cause fires because of their lithium batteries. The danger of e-bike or e-scooter fire lies in the fact that most people store their bikes and scooters in the house. For this reason, Bridgehill also offers several smaller Fire Blankets to isolate lithium fires in e-bikes and e-scooters. They are ideal for battery fires, e-scooters and bikes, workshops and storage facilities of small or large quantities of lithium batteries, restaurant kitchens, industrial tools, the recycling industry, marine, aviation and military.
