Q: What is this Fire Blanket used for?
A: It is designed to quickly smother small fires, such as those involving grease, paper, or wood, and can also be wrapped around a person to extinguish burning clothing or provide a radiant heat shield.
Q: How do I use the fire blanket in an emergency?
A: Take a release tape in each hand, pull down and out to remove the blanket from the pouch, then slowly drape it over the flames to seal off the air supply and leave it in place until the area has cooled.
Q: Can this fire blanket be reused?
A: Yes, it is made from 100% compact structure fiberglass fabric and can be reused multiple times as long as it is not damaged; simply let it cool, wipe it clean, and fold it back into the pouch.
Q: Does the fire blanket expire?
A: The blanket itself does not expire and will remain effective as long as the fiberglass fabric and pouch are in good condition with no visible damage.
Q: Is it safe and easy for anyone to use?
A: Yes, there is no heavy equipment or complex instructions—just pull the quick-release tabs and deploy, making it simple enough for most people, from older children to seniors, to use without prior training.
Q: Where should I install or store this fire blanket?
A: The blanket comes in a compact nylon storage bag with hanging grommets, so you can mount it in easily accessible locations such as the kitchen, near a fireplace or BBQ, in a garage or shed, vehicle, RV, boat, office, or campsite.
Q: How is this different from a fire extinguisher?
A: Fire extinguishers are essential, but they often leave a powdery residue that requires extensive cleanup, while a fire blanket can smother small fires without creating a mess, adding an extra layer of protection to your fire safety plan.
