The kitchen fire blanket is an essential safety device for any home, caravan, or office. With dimensions of 1.1m x 1.1m, it’s specifically designed to swiftly handle small fires, such as a kitchen pan fire. The blanket is housed in a soft, splash-resistant case that’s easy to clean and comes with straightforward instructions for use.
Constructed from premium coated glass fibre, Vigil fire blankets are subjected to thorough performance and quality testing. They comply with the BS EN 1869:2019 standards, as certified by SGS Group, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification. We are confident that our choice of materials makes this one of the most reliable fire blankets on the market.
This small kitchen fire blanket is ideal for dealing with fires involving up to 3 litres of cooking fats and oils and includes a 5-year warranty. For larger commercial needs, bigger fire blankets are also available.
The blanket features a mounting eyelet for easy wall hanging and is secured in its pouch with a Velcro fastener, allowing for quick release by pulling down the tabs. To operate, unfold the blanket and carefully cover the flames by holding the pull tabs. The blanket works by smothering the fire, cutting off its oxygen supply, and preventing it from spreading.
This cost-effective fire blanket is perfect for small kitchens, caravan parks, holiday homes, and rental properties.
Expected lifespan: The Fire Industry Association (FIA) advises replacing fire blankets every 7 years. It is important to replace the blanket after it has been used in a fire.
Caution: Please be wary of inexpensive, untested fire blankets sold on sites like Amazon and eBay. These may claim to meet "CE Standard: 1869-1997" and be marked "Made in P.R.C." However, some of these products may burn through or even ignite when used.
