Description
A fire blanket is a blanket that can be placed over a fire to extinguish it at an early stage. The material consists of a non-flammable or very poorly flammable fabric, possibly coated with a fire-retardant agent.
By removing oxygen from the fire source, the fire is extinguished. The extinguishing medium is suitable for small fires.
A fire blanket is not a suitable extinguishing medium for a grease fire (also known as a fat fire or pan fire)!
Instructions for use
• Pull the fire blanket out of the container by the straps
• Replace the fire blanket after use
• Hold the fire blanket by the straps in front of your body for protection
against the flames
• Place the fire blanket over the fire source and leave it there until the fire is out
