Fire Blankets

Fire blankets are ideal for fighting small fires that may occur in the home or the work place. With around 28% of house fires starting in the kitchen area they really are an essential piece of safety equipment that should be found in all homes.

Burning oils are one of the most common reasons for a fire in the kitchen. Not only are they very dangerous but they can easily get out of control. With a fire blanket handily placed near the exit doorway any small fire can be easily extinguished just by throwing the blanket of the source of the flames.

In more serious house fires they can also be used to place over clothing that has caught fire or to be placed over the head if you need to evacuate a burning building. This act alone will ensure that the vital organs will be protected from the intense heat and fire.

It is not only direct contact with fire that can cause severe injuries. Even intense heat can cause terrible burns that may scar a person for life. In more serious cases skins burns can cause reaction to the vital organs leading to death.

Some types of fire blankets can be reused and you will need to read the instructions on the product before purchasing. Many types of fire blanket can be re-cleaned and placed back into their original protective holders.
Fire blankets are easily obtainable from local DIY stores and local hardware shops. Avoid purchasing second hand fire blankets because many of these many not function effectively and maybe outside their guarantee.

Fire blankets should always be placed near an exit so they can be easily reached in an emergency. Do not place then near to cookers or in distances far away from exits for safety reasons. If you do throw a fire blanket onto the flames and they spread for one reason or another at least you know that the exit is near to you should you need to evacuate the premises urgently.

With the rising costs of property, irreplaceable personal possessions and the priceless valuation we place on our families I think you will find that the small investment needed when purchasing a fire blanket is well worth the money.
