A fire blanket is an essential safety tool designed to quickly smother small fires and prevent them from spreading. Made from fire-resistant materials such as fiberglass or specially treated fabric, it works by cutting off the fire’s oxygen supply, effectively extinguishing flames. Fire blankets are especially useful in kitchens, workshops, laboratories, and other areas where open flames or high heat sources are present. They are simple to use just pull from the container, cover the fire completely, and wait until the flames are out. Fire blankets are also effective for wrapping around a person whose clothing has caught fire, providing immediate protection. Unlike fire extinguishers, they leave no residue, making them ideal for use on cooking fires or delicate equipment. Compact, easy to store, and requiring no maintenance, a fire blanket is a practical, life-saving addition to any home, workplace, or vehicle emergency kit.
