[INQ. NO. 2306E02] A medium-sized company is attracting attention by developing equipment that effectively suppresses electric vehicle (EV) fires.
VISCARE CO., LTD. developed a water tank trailer for fire suppression and a watering device that penetrates the battery case last year, and completed all prototype production after applying for patents at home and abroad. Currently, efforts are being made to spread its use to the frontlines of firefighting sites.
The water tank trailer for fire suppression developed by the company has the advantage of being able to easily enter underground parking lots when using a small tow truck because it is designed with a low vehicle weight. Therefore, in Korea, where most of the electric charging facilities are installed in underground parking lots, using this product is expected to be able to respond to a wide range of EV fires.

The battery case penetrating watering device is a portable device equipped with a hollow drill in a hydraulic motor. This equipment penetrates the battery pack case under the vehicle and sprays fire suppressant water directly onto the battery cells. By injecting fireextinguishing water closest to the fire point, the efficiency of the battery cell’s cooling and extinguishing is excellent. Above all, it has the advantage of being manufactured and developed to ensure the maximum safety of firefighters. In addition, the battery-case-penetrating water sprinkler is designed to effectively extinguish EV fires even in sites where it is difficult for a water tank trailer to enter, and when used together with a water tank trailer, the fire-suppression efficiency is expected to increase even more.
Lee Jeong-min, CEO of the company, stressed “Our EV fire-suppression method is based on innovative practical technology developed by looking at the current situations in Europe and the United States, as well as in Korea. There are many difficulties as local SMEs pursue development, production, and publicity on their own. We desperately need the interest and support of many people, including firefighters.”
