A fire blanket is a crucial safety device designed to extinguish small fires and prevent them from spreading. Made from fire-resistant materials such as fiberglass or wool treated with a flame retardant, fire blankets are essential for both industrial and residential safety.

Functionality:

Smothers Fires:

Fire blankets work by depriving a fire of oxygen, which is essential for combustion. By covering the fire, they create a barrier that prevents oxygen from reaching the flames, causing them to extinguish. 

Versatile Use:

They can be used on various types of fires, including those involving cooking oils, grease, clothing, and even some electrical fires. 

Easy to Use:

Fire blankets are designed for quick deployment. They are usually mounted in a way that allows for easy access and can be quickly spread over a fire. 

Portable and Accessible:

Fire blankets are lightweight and can be easily stored in accessible locations, such as kitchens, near fireplaces, or in camping gear. 

Materials and Construction:

Fiberglass:

The most common material for fire blankets is fiberglass due to its fire-resistant and heat-resistant properties. 

Fire Retardant:

The fiberglass material is treated with fire retardant chemicals to enhance its ability to withstand high temperatures and prevent flames from spreading. 

Construction:

Fire blankets are typically woven or layered to provide good coverage and insulation.
