By installing a fire-extinguishing blanket next to every possible seat of fire, especially in kitchens and workrooms, it should be quite easy to extinguish the fire without much damage.
Even when a person or their clothing is on fire, the “fire blanket” can, by wrapping a person in it, extinguish the fire in a safe manner. The Kitemark fire blankets type K75 and K100 can endure heat for a long time and will not catch fire so easily, even with less experienced users. By taking oxygen away, the fire “suffocates”.
Technical specifications
The most rigorous tests more than once proved the Kitemark fire blanket type ‘K100 1000 C’ to be the most reliable. While the cheaper three-layer and commonly coated fire blankets catch fire (from 3 seconds on), the ‘K100 1000 C’ remains non-flammable for up to 6 minutes.

How does it work?
Fire blankets stop the supply of oxygen to the fire. By covering the object on fire with a fire blanket, the oxygen is prevented from reaching the fire and so the fire is extinguished. A fire blanket is made of fire-proof or poorly combustible material and it often hangs on the wall in a red package. I our well-organized web-shop you can find a wide range of products in various designs. |
If a person is on fire
Extinguish the fire by rolling the victim over the ground; use, if possible, a heavy piece of cloth (a fire blanket, a coat, a blanket); do not use any synthetic fabric.
Put out the flames with water, except if the fire was caused by gasoline
Never run! This may stir up the flames.
Cool the fire burns with water.
Fire in a frying pan
Do not walk holding an uncovered pan
Make sure the lid is on the pan, the flames will die out; when putting a lid on the pan, hold the open side away from you.
If it is necessary to take the pan outside, make sure the pan is covered.
Never run holding the pan, this may stir up the flames.
Cool the fire burns with water.
Fire caused by gasoline
Do not try to extinguish the fire with water; use the fire extinguishers; if you do not have one, leave the place of fire
Is a victim burning due to a gasoline-caused fire? Extinguish the fire by rolling the victim on the ground. Use, if possible, a heavy piece of cloth (a fire blanket, a coat, a blanket); do not use any synthetic fabric.
Never try to extinguish the fire using water! Use fire-extinguish appliances.
Cool the fire burns with Vestagel or water.
