How to use a fire blanket
- Pull the blanket out using the straps
- Protect your hands behind the folded edge
- Cover the flames fully
- Turn off the heat source only if safe
- Leave the blanket in place until the area cools
Best use
Fire blankets are most useful for small contained flames, especially in kitchens.
Placement guidance
Mount the blanket near the kitchen or cooking area, but not so close to the stove that it becomes unsafe to reach during a fire.
