Fire blankets are made
from a fire-resistant material and are designed to smother a fire.
They are ideal for use in a kitchen where there is a risk of fire
from cooking, however a fire blanket can also be used to extinguish
burning clothing.
A fire blanket is typically stored in an easily accessible bag
that can be hung on the wall. Two pull-tabs located at the base
of the bag allow easy deployment of the blanket.
To use a fire blanket, pull the two tabs located at the bottom
of the bag.
Hold the handles in such a way as to protect your body and hands
from the heat.
Approach the fire using the blanket as a shield and place the
blanket over the fire.
