Vapor Cloud Explosion
A Primary Hazard of Modern Vehicle Fires
There's only one tactical solution to Vapor Cloud Explosion (VCE) deployable by every firefighter, quickly and easily, along with the firefighting nozzles they bring with them every day.
There is no warning. There are no signs firefighters can rely on. Lithium-ion batteries in early thermal runaway can emit large volumes of flammable vapors without fire. Then, without warning, explode.
VCE is a primary hazard of modern vehicle fires in enclosed spaces. Vapor cloud explosion hazard is not mitigated by plain water or foam.
TUF uses proven water additives and tactics to mitigate VCE potential while extinguishing the fire and stopping thermal runaway propagation.

Firefighters Die Fighting EV Fire in Parking Garage
2 April 2024
Two firefighters tragically lost their lives and 14 others were injured in a fire an underground parking garage, thought to have been started by an electric vehicle.
Seven others had been injured—one critically. According to initial investigations, the blaze was caused by the explosion of an electric car following an accident. Emergency teams worked under extreme conditions due to dense smoke, while residents were instructed to stay confined in their homes.
Some media reports have mentioned up to 15 injured firefighters in the incident.
Unnamed eye witnesses had said the fire started when the driver of an electric vehicle experienced a malfunction during parking. The EV then crashed, leading to a rapid fire development with thick smoke and an explosion.
WHAT Every Firefighter Should Know About F-500 ea
Most Effective and Versatile Water Additive Available
Operating principle: As water flows, so does F-500 EA. Makes a difference faster on every fire.
Encapsulates on a Molecular Level
Encapsulates carbons and hydrocarbons in spherical micelles as it is applied with normal firefighting (fog) nozzles, at normal delivery pressures and volumes.
Life Saving Water Additive
F-500 EA is a water additive for all fires and explosive vapors. Acts faster than plain water, foam, or any other fire suppressant to cool, extinguish, reduce explosive atmosphere, and clear atmosphere for search.
NFPA 18A Standard on Water Additives for Fire Suppression and Vapor Control
Meets Section 7.7 testing. Best solution for mixed hazards and lithium-ion battery thermal runaway-proven since 2008. Fast, consistent, extinguishment with less water and time. Cited in Annex 4.3 of NFPA 18A. UL-Listed.
Extinguishes Fires Faster
Whereas water and foam are frequently ineffective and slow to extinguish, F-500 EA is right now.
Any Fire - Any Fuel
Class A, B, C, D, Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway and fire. F-500 EA has decades of testing. Tested successful on all lithium-ion battery types since 2008.
PFAS-Free
Always PFAS-Free.
Reduces Carcinogen Exposure
Reduces carcinogen exposure on firefighters' turnout clothing and skin when used for interior structural initial fire attack.
