Cherwell Fire Safety1
Fire blankets
Everyone is familiar with the fire blanket, mostly seen in commercial kitchens like restaurants, cafe`s, fast food outlets and ordinary business kitchens and of course our homes. Fire blankets are increasing in numbers in domestic kitchens as householders are becoming more safety conscious. They are also effective in situations where some ones clothing has caught fire by wrapping the blanket around the person and rolling them on the floor to smother the flames.
Fire blankets are ideal for small cooking oil fires, ideally they should be wall mounted for optimal effect but not too near the source or appliance as a fire might restrict you from reaching the blanket.
Depending on the manufacturer they come with two handle straps hanging from the container (see picture) which are pulled for rapid deployment of the blanket the straps then assist you in placing the fire blanket over the fire.
Fire blankets layed on surfaces will be redundant and may cause difficulties and delays in safely trying to remove the blanket from the container hampering the effectiveness from which they were designed. All types of properties and situations would benefit from a fire blanket, you never know when this handy little friend may be of assistance.
