Fire blanket is a simple fire safety appliance designed to tackle small contained fires usually found in a kitchen.
A traditional fire blanket is constructed from a sheet of woven fire-resistant material and is stored in a wall mounted container. A standard blanket can withstand temperatures of up to 900 degrees Celsius.
The sheet is used to smother the flames, starve them of oxygen and extinguish the fire before it gets out of control.
however, they are also used within educational, residential and industrial settings.
A simple grab and pull of the handles will allow the blanket to fall from the wall container and cover an operator’s hands, protecting them from burns. They can be safely deployed in the event of an emergency without any special training – although a potential user should familiarise themselves with the instructions on the container beforehand.
