Introducing the Yellow Jacket Controlled Burn‑Off Method

Revolutionary Vented Lithium‑Ion Battery Fire Containment System

Yellow Jacket is a patent-pending fire containment system constructed with advanced aerospace-grade materials, a nonconductive proprietary thread, controlled ventilation, and a secure contouring design.

It was developed to address the challenges traditional fire blankets can leave unresolved, including uncontrolled off-gassing, conductive components, pressure buildup, airborne battery cells, and excessive water usage.

Real Conditions. Real Results.

Tested Under Real Fire Conditions

Watch experienced fire-service professionals deploy Yellow Jacket over an active vehicle fire and evaluate how the system performs under severe thermal conditions.

The demonstration shows:

  • Rapid two-sided deployment
  • Fire containment around the vehicle
  • Controlled rear ventilation
  • Secure contouring using the integrated strap system
  • Containment of airborne battery cells
  • Material and seam performance under extreme heat
  • Reduced water requirements during the test

Engineered for a Higher Standard.

A Greater Challenge.

Lithium-Ion Fires Demand More Than Conventional Thinking

Lithium-ion battery fires are complex, unpredictable, and self-sustaining. They present unique dangers that require a different approach.

Extreme
Heat

Temperatures can exceed 1,000°C (1,832°F).

Toxic
Off‑Gassing

Releases hazardous and flammable gases.

Electrical
Risk

High voltage and reignition potential.

Pressure
Buildup

Can cause violent release of toxic gases.

Exploding Battery Cells

Thermal runaway can propagate between cells.

Specific test observation—not a guaranteed outcome.

Reducing Water. Reducing Runoff.

An Environmentally Smarter Choice

Reduces the volume of potentially contaminated runoff.

Electric vehicle fires can require substantial amounts of water to cool damaged battery cells and reduce the possibility of reignition.

During the Yellow Jacket live fire evaluation, the response team reported using approximately 500 gallons of water compared with an estimated 2,000 gallons normally associated with a similar incident.

That represented an observed reduction of approximately 75% during this particular test.

Reducing water requirements may offer several operational advantages:

  • Conserves limited water supplies
  • Helps limit contaminated runoff entering drains, streams, wells, and groundwater
  • Supports response in locations where hydrant access is limited
  • May simplify post-incident water containment and cleanup

Experience Matters.

Built by a Materials Specialist

Driven to protect the heroes responding to one of today’s most difficult fire hazards.

Yellow Jacket was developed by Tim Driscoll, a materials specialist and sales engineer with approximately 30 years of experience working with industrial and aerospace-grade materials.

After studying the limitations exposed during public EV fire-blanket testing, Tim became focused on designing a more complete containment solution.

His experience with thermal materials, industrial applications, product development, and in-house fabrication provided the foundation for Yellow Jacket’s coated material system, nonconductive thread, controlled ventilation, and secure strapping design.

The result is a patent-pending system created around a clear mission:

Protect the Heroes. Contain the Hazard.
