Product Description
The Fire Blanket is a portable fire protection device designed to smother and control small fires by cutting off the supply of oxygen.
Made from heat-resistant woven glass-fibre material, the blanket can be quickly deployed over small fires, particularly cooking oil, frying-pan, clothing, and other contained fires. Fire blankets are commonly supplied in wall-mounted pouches or rigid cases for quick access during an emergency.
Fire blankets manufactured to BS EN 1869 are intended for general fire-safety applications and are available in several standard sizes.
