Rechargeable devices such as cell phones, tablets, cameras, walkie talkies and flashlights are integral equipment for law enforcement agencies. The Lithium FireGuard PG-100 is the only UL-approved single-stage lithium containment device designed specifically for these high-energy batteries. In the event of a lithium battery runaway incident, it will PROTECT the user, COLLECT the runaway device, and CONTAIN the device ensuring safety for hours, therefore limiting the department's collateral damage and protecting evidence and other critical resources.
FORENSICS LABS
A fire in a law enforcement agency building or lab puts people and evidence at risk. Even a small lithium battery fire can leave a lab inoperable for several days, as the fumes and toxic byproducts of the fire require specialized clean up procedures.
EQUIPMENT
According to FAA statistics incidents of Lithium Battery Fires on US flights have surged by 388% since 2015, now happening nearly twice a week. Just in 2024 alone there were a total of 84 incidents and these are just what have been reported. On average, passengers bring 4-5 lithium battery powered devices while traveling. This means there are thousands of devices onboard a flight at any given time. most commonly smartphones (82%), laptops (41%), wireless headphones (39%), and tablets (36%) — according to a 2024 report published by UL Standards & Engagement. Thirty One percent bring a portable charger or power bank with them, while 10% travel with an e-cigarette or vaping device. Despite the prevalence of lithium-ion battery powered devices, more than two in five (44%) Americans admit to knowing nothing about these batteries, and three in five consumers (60%) are unaware that lithium-ion batteries power many of the products they routinely use. These knowledge gaps have serious implications for aviation safety
EVIDENCE
Protect you passengers, pilots, crew and your asset. Although there are less lithium batteries on a corporate aircraft they are still at great risk for lithium battery fire incidents. The PG 100 allows for the user to immediately scoop up the device prior to extinguishing and cooling which minimizes potential damage to the aircraft. It is the only device that has protection for the user and the passengers with its polycarbonate blast shield. Once encapsulated all of the toxic smoke is filtered through the particulate filters and the device can be fully submerged in water to prevent future propagation mitigating the need to down the aircraft and allowing for uninterrupted air travel.
