Fire Blanket

Fire Blanket

A fire blanket is a safety device designed to extinguish small fires by smothering them with a fire-resistant material. It is made from a sheet of woven fiberglass or other fire-resistant material, and it is typically stored in a container or pouch for easy access in case of an emergency.

To use a fire blanket, you should first make sure that everyone in the area is safe and that the fire is small and contained. Then, you should carefully pull the fire blanket out of its container and hold it in front of you like a shield. Next, you should approach the fire slowly and carefully, using the blanket to smother the flames by covering them completely.

It is important to note that fire blankets are designed to extinguish small fires and should not be used on large fires or those involving flammable liquids or gases. In such cases, you should evacuate the area immediately and call the emergency services.

Fire blankets are a valuable addition to any home, workplace, or public space and can help prevent small fires from becoming more serious. They are typically available for purchase at hardware stores or online retailers.
