Introduction: Smothering Small Fires and Personal Protection
Fire Blankets are a simple, yet highly effective, form of fire protection designed to extinguish small, contained fires (Class A, B, and F/K) by smothering them and cutting off the oxygen supply. They are particularly valuable for suppressing liquid fuel fires (like cooking oil) and for use as personal protective equipment during emergency evacuation.
Our blankets are typically made from woven fiberglass or treated synthetic fibers, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures (up to 1000∘C or 1832∘F). They are stored folded inside a quick-release container (soft pouch or hard cabinet) that allows for rapid deployment with pull-down tabs. Standard sizes include 1.2 m×1.2 m for domestic use and 1.8 m×1.8 m for commercial kitchens or industrial use.
Emergency Blankets, which are usually larger, are primarily used to wrap around a person whose clothes have caught fire, or as a thermal barrier during evacuation. While simple, they require specific manufacturing and testing standards (like EN 1869 in Europe) to ensure effectiveness and safety. (Approx. 500 words)
Advantage: No Residue, Fast Action, and Safety
- Smothers Fire: The blanket cuts off the fire's oxygen supply effectively, extinguishing the fire without causing collateral damage.
- Safe for Liquid Fires (K/F): Unlike water, the blanket can be safely used on deep fat fryer fires, preventing the splattering of hot oil.
- No Cleanup Required: Leaves zero residue (unlike powder or foam extinguishers), making it ideal for sensitive environments like labs or small kitchens.
- Ease of Use: Operation is extremely simple (pull the tabs, cover the fire), requiring minimal training compared to fire extinguishers.
- Personal Safety: Can be used to protect a person and their escape path from fire and heat exposure.
- Long Lifespan: Requires virtually no maintenance or periodic testing, needing only visual inspection.

Suppression of Small, Contained Fires
Commercial and Domestic Kitchens
Essential for smothering small cooking oil fires (deep fryers, stovetops) where water or other agents could be ineffective or hazardous.
Laboratories and Workshops
Used to quickly contain small chemical spills or small fires on laboratory benches, preventing rapid spread.
Welding and Cutting Areas
Used as a protective screen or curtain to shield adjacent combustible materials from sparks and slag.
Personal Protection
Wrapping around a person whose clothing has ignited (stop, drop, and roll alternative).
Hotels and Dormitories
Small, easily stored units placed in rooms or common kitchenettes for immediate first-response capability.
