EV Fire Blanket Detonation: Firefighters Thrown by Blast

NFPA just released video of a violent explosion tha happened back in May 2025 during an electric vehicle fire blanket test—and it caught a lot of people off guard.
In this video, I break down exactly what happened, explain the science behind deflagration vs. detonation, and share why this incident is so important for firefighters using EV fire blankets in the field.
This wasn't a random failure—this was a controlled test pushing the limits of the tool. And while no firefighters were hurt, the outcome raised serious questions about how and when fire blankets should be deployed during a thermal runaway event.
