Generic Fire Blanket, Large, Quick Unfolding with Loops, 1 x 1 m

A really good product as part of your home safety plan. It meets all the requirements for a domestic fire blanket perfectly well. It's easy to see, easy to extract, the instructions are fine, it's robust. But treat it as part of a fire safety plan - people need to know where it is and how to use it. It's great in a home kitchen or garage. A fire blanket is usually preferable to a fire extinguisher here as it can be easily used to smother the small size fires that incorrect use of an extinguisher can make worse. If you are in any way dealing with higher fire risks than a normal domestic household, such as a lot of hot fat or electrical or heat hazards in a home workshop, get professional advice. If the blanket is easy to reach and used promptly in the early stages of a fire, this product can nip a small fire in the bud by starving it of oxygen. If the fire is well-established, you are too late. Get out to safety and call the professionals. So make the blanket easy to see and reach from fire danger spots like a cooker. It's easy to install and has a robust ring. Hang it off a strong hook - you want to be able to rely on pulling the blanket out of the soft case in case of an emergency rather than pulling your hook out of the wall! Think at what height to install your hook - all those using the 'fire risk' unsupervised should be able to reach and pull the handles.

Hopefully won't have to use

......leaving anyone under the age of about 40 scratching their heads! A great fire blanket, value for money and good size. It gives you enough size to be able to smother most domestic fires that have just ignited, like a pan... Simply pull the black straps from the red bag/case and it will unfold. A good thickness cloth that is not too thin and not too thick.
