Fire Blankets | Commercial Fire Protection
Fire blankets are a useful aid to putting out small fires by cutting off the fire’s oxygen supply. Historically they were reserved for use in kitchens, however fire safety professionals now recognise their importance in other situations such as laboratories, offices, homes, workshops and welding. They can also be used to smother fires on the clothing of personnel by wrapping the blanket around the person.
All of the fire blankets that we sell online are manufactured to the highest possible quality. They are rigorously tested to the vigour of BS EN 1869:1997.
NOTE - although some government departments, councils and official bodies recommend fire blankets approved to BS 6575, BS EN 1869:1997 replaced this standard in 1997.
As with all fire fighting equipment, simple fire training should be provided to all staff in the proper use of any fire blanket. Also an equipment identification sign should be positioned above
