FIRE BLANKETS

A simple but deliberately selected tool for a small early-stage flame.

A fire blanket is a first-response item used to physically cover a flame in selected scenarios. It is not a universal answer: material, size, location and use instructions must match the actual zone.

We select the appropriate size and placement plan for kitchens, labs and small risk zones as a first-response measure.

MATERIAL CONSIDERATIONS

The approved use scenario—not the material name alone—comes first.

Product data is the source for temperature limits, use instructions and restrictions.

  • 01

    Glass fibre

    A product construction that may be considered for commercial and general areas; suitability is verified from its label and certification.

  • 02

    Wool-based construction

    A variant assessed from product instructions for people-contact and special-use scenarios.

  • 03

    Industrial-oriented option

    For welding and higher-risk work, selection must follow approved product performance and work procedures.

  • 04

    Wall case

    Signage and location are integral to making the blanket quick and clear to access.

WHERE IT IS USED

Match the first-response point to the risk.

The blanket is not a replacement for primary systems or other portable means; it is an additional first step in selected risk scenarios.

  • 01

    Commercial kitchens

    A first-response point is planned around operating use, heat sources and product instructions.

  • 02

    Laboratories and training areas

    For limited local risks, visibility and clear use instructions are priorities.

  • 03

    Welding and service points

    Considered alongside work permits, fire watch and approved material suitability.

MATERIAL SELECTION

A concise comparison, not the final decision.

The approved product data sheet and the facility risk always take precedence.

Use a blanket only when a safe first response is possible.

If flames grow, smoke intensifies or the escape route is threatened, move immediately to evacuation and professional-response procedure. The manufacturer's instructions are the primary reference.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Let’s determine the right scope for your facility.

When is a fire blanket considered?

It may be assessed as a first-response item for small, local, controlled flame scenarios. Suitability is checked against the actual product instructions and facility risk.

Does a blanket replace other fire-safety equipment?

No. It is a selected first-response item and does not replace required primary systems, portable extinguishers or evacuation procedures.

Where should the blanket be stored?

Choose a visible, unobstructed point near the risk zone but outside likely direct flame exposure. Exact placement is confirmed from the plan and product instructions.

DEFINE YOUR SYSTEM

Plan first-response points safely.

Share the risk zone and operating use so FireLine can prepare a technical guide for material, placement and signage.
