Emergency Fire Blanket - 2 Pack - Fire Suppression for Kitchen, 39” x 39” Fiberglass Fire Blanket for Home

Unfortunately, we had to use our fire blanket the other night. A couple of observations and tips. Observations: red tostados catch on fire very easily in a toaster! And the flames get high very quickly. Now as for the blanket: 1. The velcro is pretty strong on the storage bag, so if you don't have the bag hanging from a secure hook where you can just jerk on the tabs, releasing the blanket, it takes a second to get it to pull the strong velcro closure and get the blanket out of the bag. 2. The blanket does a good job at keeping the flames down, but it didn't "stop" the fire. The fire in the toaster continued to burn underneath the blanket after placing the blanket over the toaster. I assume because it's fiberglass and doesn't "drape" smoothly, allowing oxygen continued access. But it did a great job containing the flames, which were spreading quickly. That allowed us to fully extinguish the greatly diminished fire using baking soda. 3. Just like you have fire drills in schools and offices, we should've practiced using it before we actually needed to use it. In the "heat of the moment" (pun totally intended), your adrenaline is roaring and it's harder to think calmly and quickly. Bottom line- Totally recommend this product. Saved us from what could have been a bad kitchen/house fire! We ordered 2 more for the garage and vehicle!

Years ago I had a fire in my microwave. I was cooking a squash on a paper towel that, back then, must have had some micro metal in it, because it caught fire and I turned around and saw my microwave looking like a fireplace! Back then, I grabbed a kitchen towel, flooded it with water, opened the door and tossed it in, and it extinguished the flame. These blankets work the same way, without the water. I bought these for my friend who's twins are beginning to cook - age about 10 - and it's simple and easy enough that they can use it if ever needed. We had a practice session (no flames) after they opened them (it was a gift), so they'd know the process and not panic. We went through a simulation a few times until they were comfortable with it, especially the motion of laying the blanket down over the flame by moving it from front to back on the stove so the blanket protects your arms from flames. I felt it was important that they know this aspect and not panic and throw it wildly over the stove. They know it now and will have no issues if they need it. Let's hope never. I also bought myself one for our house as my mother can not use a fire extinguisher at this point. It's too heavy and she's not strong enough to pull the pin without difficulty. This solves the problem. And then I bought a bunch more and gave them to relatives for Christmas gifts. On You Tube there are videos of cottages, called bothies, in the UK that are shelters for hikers, open to all. Most have wood stoves in them for warmth. In every bothy I've seen, there is one of these hanging on the wall. They never need recharging, aren't heavy to use, and are quicker than an extinguisher to deploy. An excellent device.

Purchased for my kitchen, feel a bit safer to have more ways to put out a stove fire. I also have a fire extinguisher.

Great product to have on hand, great peace of mind.

I purchased this to keep in the kitchen for emergency use and have not had to deploy it, which is exactly what you want with something like this. The blanket is compact, easy to store, and comes in a pouch that looks simple to open quickly if needed. The material feels durable, and it gives confidence that it would be effective in a small fire situation. The 39” x 39” size looks appropriate for stovetop or small appliance fires. Easy to mount or store within reach in the kitchen. Overall, a solid piece of emergency equipment that’s worth having on hand for peace of mind.

Bought a few of these for Xmas gifts for family. Haven’t had to use them (knock on wood) but there is a piece of mind if there is a fire. We can put it out fast.

I live in a condo and one of our units recently was destroyed by a fire. One of our new owners brought this product to our board meeting and explained how easy it was to use. I came home and ordered two of them right away. One will be kept in my kitchen and the other in my car.

Wow, am I glad I bought this! I just had a kitchen fire and after screaming Oh my God multiple times as the pan flames were shooting up a foot high, I remembered this and opened my cabinet door, yanked it out by the ties and threw it on the pan. Fire out! Just like that. Didn’t have to figure out how to work my fire extinguisher and have a big mess all over my kitchen from fire extinguisher spray, not to mention the fact that it prevented my house from burning down. Now I’m telling all my friends about it because I think everyone should have one of these! Worth every penny. Just make sure you do as an instructed, and put a hook inside your kitchen cabinet and hang the blanket. Then it’s handy and you just yank it out. The blanket unfurls and you throw it on the pan. After the fire, I just folded it up and put it back and I hoped I never had to use it again. But I’m so glad it’s there.

Bought for a youth group camp, although have not needed to be used so far they feel like good quality and prefer the soft casing and ability to hang up over the solid plastic option.

Fire blankets are used in oil fires where the accelerant (oil) is not miscible with water. Most household cooking fires are oil fires, definitely need an excellent-quality, certified fire blanket along with an ABE extinguisher. 5/5.

Bueno , el producto se ve de calidad y en caso de un foco de fuego poder o intentar pararlo.

Repeat purchase with a twist. These will be door prizes at a Wildfire Community Preparedness Day. A Fire Smart Canada sponsored program. Prepared Hero fire blankets, extinguishers and emergency blankets will all be given as prizes.

Non l’ho provata (fortunatamente), però mi sembra un prodotto efficace e ben fatto. Ne ho regalata una anche ai miei genitori. L’ho messa appesa dietro a una scaffalatura, cosí che sia semplice prenderla in caso di necessità. È una di quelle cose che non ci si rende conto di quanto siano utili fino a quando non servono, ma in quel momento è troppo tardi! La ditta produttrice dopo l’acquisto offre un servizio di newsletter molto utile in cui offrono consigli preventivi per evitare incendi domestici e per usare correttamente la coperta.
