Fire blankets are a simple, fast and highly effective fire safety tool designed to smother small fires and prevent the spread of flames. They work by cutting off the fire’s oxygen supply and are an essential addition to many domestic and commercial fire safety setups.
Why it works: the blanket is placed over the fire, sealing it and
depriving the flames of oxygen, which quickly stops combustion without chemicals
or residue.
✅ Key benefits
- No chemicals or residue — clean and easy to use
- Highly effective on small fires, particularly in kitchens
- Safe to use on cooking oil fires when applied correctly
- Can be used to wrap a person whose clothing is on fire
🏠 Best for
Kitchens, canteens, staff break rooms, domestic settings, student accommodation, care homes, and anywhere a quick, non-technical fire response is required.
⚠️ Important considerations
Fire blankets are intended for small, contained fires only. They should not be used on large or spreading fires, and users must ensure their escape route remains clear at all times.
