Parking Areas & EV Charging
Fire protection for parking areas and EV charging environments, integrating building protection, detection, emergency isolation and incident response.
As electric vehicles become more common, car-park fire protection can no longer be considered only from the perspective of conventional vehicle-fuel fires. EV battery thermal runaway can involve prolonged heat release, dense smoke/off-gas generation and a risk of re-ignition.
Protection Layers
- Automatic sprinkler protection
- Fire detection and suitable heat detection
- Fire pumps and water supply
- Alarm interfaces to smoke-control systems
- Emergency shutdown of EV charging infrastructure
- Suitable fixed misting and targeted battery-cooling solutions using F-500 EA® where supported by the system design
- Exposure control for adjacent vehicles and structures
- Fire-service access and post-fire quarantine
Service Area
From Yalova, DEMOFIRE provides fire protection design support, installation, commissioning, maintenance and technical service for car parks and EV charging areas primarily in Istanbul, Kocaeli and Bursa and, depending on project scope, in Izmir and throughout Türkiye. We support car-park and EV projects in major cities as well as residential, shopping-centre and commercial projects in Yalova.
Can an EV fire be controlled by the car-park sprinkler system?
Sprinklers are very important for limiting exposure to adjacent vehicles and the structure, while the battery-pack thermal-runaway hazard must also be assessed separately.
Should the charging unit automatically be de-energised during a fire?
An emergency shutdown can be implemented through the appropriate cause-and-effect logic and electrical design.
Can a targeted under-vehicle battery cooling system be used in every car park?
Suitability depends on parking geometry, water supply, protection objective and the technical limits of the selected system.
