A fire blanket is a safety device designed to extinguish small fires at their early stages. Made from fire-resistant materials such as fiberglass or Kevlar, it works by smothering flames and cutting off the fire’s oxygen supply. Fire blankets are especially effective for kitchen fires, clothing fires, or small electrical fires, and are often stored in easily accessible wall-mounted containers. To use it, the blanket is pulled from its container, unfolded, and carefully placed over the fire while keeping hands protected. It’s a simple, non-toxic, and maintenance-free tool that can save lives and property in emergency situations.
