The 1.2m x 1.2m fire blanket is a crucial safety device designed to swiftly extinguish minor fires in your kitchen. Ideal for use in a range of environments—from bustling small commercial kitchens and office spaces to workshops and home settings—this blanket is especially adept at handling small pan-fires involving cooking fats and oils. Additionally, it can be used as a protective wrap if your clothing accidentally ignites.
Encased in a durable, wipeable soft pouch, the fire blanket features a convenient rear hole for wall mounting and includes easy-to-follow printed instructions. Backed by a 5-year warranty, it is made from premium coated glass fibre and meets the BS EN 1869:2019 standards for both performance and safety.
The fire blanket operates by smothering the flames and cutting off the oxygen supply, which helps extinguish the fire and prevent it from spreading. It is held in place with a Velcro closure for quick access; simply pull down the tabs to release it. To use, unfold the blanket and place it over the fire, holding onto the pull tabs.
Ideal for smaller commercial kitchens, such as those found in cafes, as well as for home kitchens, workshops, and office environments.
Expected lifespan: The Fire Industry Association (FIA) advises replacing fire blankets every 7 years or immediately after any use in a fire.
Important note: Exercise caution with inexpensive, untested fire blankets available on sites like Amazon and eBay. These products may display "CE Standard: 1869-1997" and "Made in P.R.C." but may be prone to failing, burning through, or catching fire during use.
