What is a Fire Blanket?
A fire blanket, often also called a fire extinguishing blanket, is a small extinguishing device specifically used to combat incipient fires. Similar to a fire extinguisher, it is ideal for the initial suppression of fires before they can spread. If you wish to purchase a fire blanket, you will find the appropriate selection in our range.
How Does a Fire Blanket Work?
The function of a fire blanket is based on interrupting the oxygen supply, which smothers the fire. Made from flame-retardant wool or materials such as fiberglass fabric or Nomex, it effectively isolates the source of the fire from the air.
Areas of Application and Suitability
Fire blankets are particularly suitable for incipient fires, but are only conditionally suitable for grease fires, as scientific studies have shown. Due to the risk of burning through at high temperatures, specialized grease fire extinguishers should be used in areas such as restaurants where grease fires are possible. Nevertheless, it is advisable to have a fire blanket readily available in every household or business. To be optimally prepared in an emergency, it is also recommended to keep additional fire extinguishers on hand. Before purchasing a fire blanket, it is important to seek expert advice to ensure that the chosen blanket is suitable for the specific area of application.
