Fire Blankets: Description & Role in Fire/Disaster Safety

A fire blanket is a sheet of fire‑resistant or fire-retardant material (commonly fiberglass, sometimes treated wool or Kevlar blends) designed to extinguish small fires by smothering them — i.e. depriving them of oxygen. Wikipedia+2Safelincs+2

How It Works

Typical Uses in Disaster / Fire Scenarios

Limitations & Dangers

  • Size limitation: If the fire is larger than the blanket’s coverage, attempting to smother it can be ineffective or dangerous. QRFS - Thoughts on Fire Blog+3Fire Protection Online Ltd+3Prepared Hero+3

  • Accelerants / fast-spreading fires: Fires involving gasoline, kerosene, volatile liquids, or accelerants may spread too quickly for a blanket to contain safely. Prepared Hero+2Prepared Hero+2

  • Electrical hazard: Fire blankets don’t conduct electricity, but one must turn off the power source before applying them to electrical fires to avoid risk. Prepared Hero+2Prepared Hero+2

  • Material limits: Blankets have maximum temperature tolerances (depending on material). If the fire is extremely intense (beyond those limits), the blanket may degrade or fail. Wikipedia+2Safelincs+2

  • Re‑ignition risk: Removing the blanket too early or disturbing smoldering embers underneath can allow the fire to reignite. Fire Protection Online Ltd+2Prepared Hero+2

  • Damage or wear: If the blanket has holes, tears, or is old/damaged, it may not properly smother fire and could be unsafe to use. Prepared Hero+2Wikipedia+2

  • Oil/fat fires caution: Some authorities question using fire blankets for certain deep-fat or oil fires, because the blanket itself may catch fire or fail once removed. Wikipedia+1

Best Practices & Recommendations

  • Install blankets in accessible locations (e.g. kitchens, garages) but not so close to a flame hazard that you can’t reach them during a fire. Safelincs+2QRFS - Thoughts on Fire Blog+2

  • Combine fire blankets with fire extinguishers and fire detection systems — they’re complementary tools. Wikipedia+2QRFS - Thoughts on Fire Blog+2

  • Train people on how to deploy and apply the blanket correctly (e.g. never toss it, shield your hands, cover completely, leave it until cooled). Fire Protection Online Ltd+2Safelincs+2

  • Periodically inspect the blanket for damage, and replace as needed or per manufacturer guidance. Prepared Hero+2Wikipedia+2
