fire

A fire blanket, also known as a fire smothering blanket or emergency blanket, is a safety device designed to extinguish small fires by smothering them. Fire blankets are typically made of a flame-resistant material, such as fiberglass or Nomex, and are available in a variety of sizes. In case of a fire, a fire blanket should be placed over the fire, taking care to cover the flames completely. The blanket will then cut off the oxygen supply to the fire, causing it to extinguish. Fire blankets are a valuable safety tool for homes, businesses, and vehicles, and can help to prevent small fires from becoming major emergencies.

Fire blankets are often used in conjunction with other fire safety devices, such as fire extinguishers and smoke alarms. They are particularly effective at extinguishing small fires that involve flammable liquids, such as grease or gasoline. Fire blankets can also be used to protect people from flames and heat, and can be used to wrap around victims of burns. Fire blankets are an essential part of any fire safety plan, and can help to save lives and property.
