Description
A fire blanket is a sheet of woven fibreglass that you lay over a small fire to cut off its air supply. It is kept folded inside a red soft PVC pouch printed FIRE BLANKET that hangs on the wall, with two black tapes hanging below the pouch so the blanket can be pulled out in one movement. It is used on small pan and cooker fires, small fires in waste bins or on a workbench, and to wrap a person whose clothes have caught fire.
What is a fire blanket used for?
- Small cooking fires — a frying pan or a small pot of oil on a household or canteen cooker.
- Small contained fires — a waste-paper bin, a small spill of burning liquid on a bench, a small appliance.
- Clothing fires — wrapped tightly round the person to smother the flames.
A fire blanket is not meant for a large fire, a fire that has already spread beyond the pan or bin, or a deep fat fryer holding several litres of oil — commercial fryers need a Class F wet chemical extinguisher.
Which size should you choose?
| Size | Typical use |
|---|---|
| 1.0 × 1.0 m | Home kitchen, small pantry, caravan or boat galley |
| 1.2 × 1.2 m | Larger home kitchen, office pantry, small restaurant |
| 1.2 × 1.8 m | Commercial kitchen, laboratory, workshop; large enough to wrap a person |
| 1.8 × 1.8 m | Factory floor, welding bay, fuel store; wrapping an adult completely |
Choose a blanket clearly larger than the biggest pan or item it may have to cover.
How do you use a fire blanket?
- Pull both black tapes downward to release the blanket from its pouch.
- Hold it by the tapes and roll the top corners over your hands to shield them.
- Lay the blanket gently over the fire, starting from the near side — do not throw it.
- Turn off the gas or electricity.
- Leave it in place until everything is cold, at least 30 minutes. Lifting it early lets air in and the fire can restart.
For a clothing fire, get the person to the floor and wrap the blanket firmly around them.
Where should it be fixed?
Hang the pouch on the wall near the exit side of the kitchen or work area, at about shoulder height, never directly above or behind the cooker — you must be able to reach it without leaning over the fire.
Care
Check from time to time that the pouch is undamaged, still hangs securely and the two tapes hang free below it. A blanket that has been used on a fire should be thrown away and replaced.
Applications
- Home, restaurant, hotel and canteen kitchens
- Office pantries and tea rooms
- School and industrial laboratories
- Welding bays and small workshops
- Garment factory floors and ironing sections
- Petrol pumps and small fuel or paint stores
Recommended usage
Hang the pouch on the wall near the exit side of the kitchen or work area at about shoulder height, with the pull tapes hanging free. Use it only on a fire that is still small and contained; keep a suitable fire extinguisher nearby as well, and call the Fire Service if the fire is not out at once.
Safety instructions
Never throw the blanket or lift it to look underneath — leave it in place for at least 30 minutes with the heat turned off. Do not use it on a large fire or on a deep fat fryer holding several litres of oil. Shield your hands behind the rolled top edge. Discard the blanket after it has been used on a fire, and replace a blanket that is torn or contaminated with oil.
Frequently asked questions
Which size of fire blanket is right for a home kitchen?
A 1.0 × 1.0 m or 1.2 × 1.2 m fire blanket is the usual choice for a home kitchen. It is large enough to cover a frying pan or a pot on the cooker completely. Choose 1.2 × 1.8 m or larger for a commercial kitchen or wherever the blanket may be needed to wrap a person.
Can a fire blanket be reused after a fire?
No, a fire blanket that has been used on a fire should be discarded and replaced. The heat and the burnt oil or residue soaked into the fabric can weaken it, so it may not seal properly the next time.
What is a fire blanket made of?
A fire blanket is made of woven fibreglass fabric, sometimes with a thin coating to make it softer to handle. Fibreglass does not burn and keeps its strength at the temperatures of a small cooking fire, so it can seal the fire off from the air.
Can a fire blanket be used on an electrical fire?
Yes, a dry fibreglass fire blanket can be laid over a small burning appliance, but switch off the power at the socket or main switch first if you can do so safely. For electrical panels and larger equipment a CO2 fire extinguisher is the proper choice.
Fire blanket or fire extinguisher — which is better for a kitchen?
A kitchen is best protected with both. A fire blanket is the simplest way to put out a burning pan because anyone can use it and it makes no mess, while a fire extinguisher is needed when the fire has spread beyond the pan to cabinets, curtains or wiring.
