A fire blanket is a fire safety device made from fire-resistant material, designed to extinguish small fires by cutting off the fire’s oxygen supply. It is especially effective for kitchen fires, clothing fires, and small electrical or flammable liquid fires (after the power source is isolated where safe).
Typical material
* Woven fiberglass (most common)
* Silica fabric (for higher-temperature industrial applications)
Common features
* Flame-resistant and heat-resistant
* Stored in a quick-release wall-mounted pouch or container
* Easy to deploy using pull-down tabs
* Reusable only if undamaged and not contaminated after use (many are intended for single emergency use)
