A fire blanket is a highly effective safety device designed to extinguish small, developing fires (Class A, B, and F) by smothering them and cutting off the oxygen supply. Commonly deployed in kitchens, laboratories, and industrial workshops, these blankets are made of flexible, fire-resistant materials that can also be wrapped around a person whose clothing has caught fire.
A Fire Blanket is a highly effective safety device designed to extinguish incipient (starting) fires by smothering them and cutting off their oxygen supply. Typically stored in a quick-release casing, they are an essential safety tool for residential kitchens, laboratories, and industrial workplaces.
They are particularly useful for tackling Class F/K fires (cooking oils and fats), where using water would cause a dangerous explosive flare-up, and for wrapping around a person whose clothing has caught fire to quickly suppress the flames.
