Very good blanket

Kitchen fires are common and usually start small, like in a frying pan. But nearby combustibles like dishtowels, cabinets, or even a greasy exhaust hood can quickly turn a small fire into something with the potential to cause a lot of damage or great bodily harm. Oil and grease fires just flare up if water is used on them and fire extinguishers have to be of the correct type, charged, and directed properly to control a fire. Fiberglasss fire blankets are an inexpensive, easy-to-use and reuse, and very effective way to put out small fires. This blanket measures about 39”x39”, which is a good size to keep in the kitchen or garage. It comes in a bright red nylon pouch with pull tabs to quickly remove and deploy the fire blanket. I like that the front side of the nylon pouch has a 3-step set of instructions on it, which is better than some other brands of these types of blankets where the instructions are printed on the back of the pouch. At any rate, I’ve asked everyone in my house to become familiar with the location of the fire blankets in my home and how to use them. The pouch has a metal grommet to use as a hanger and I hang one inside one of my kitchen cabinet doors about 3 paces away from the stove. The blanket, as mentioned previously, is made of fiberglass. Rubbing my fingers over the blanket, I do see that a very small amount of fiber particles can come off onto your hand, but it’s not much. And that was with me intentionally rubbing the material with my fingers, which you wouldn’t do to use it on a fire. Some of the fire blankets for sale come with gloves to protect your hands from fibers and I’d say skip it: I think the time it takes to put on gloves gives a small fire a chance to flare up into something too big for a fire blanket, so getting the blanket onto the fire quickly should be the priority. I’ve purchased three of these types of blankets from different sellers and they all seem to be similar in construction and quality so, here on Amazon, find one with the best price and you’re likely to be fine. This blanket is a good one to buy and the price was right at the time I ordered it. Whichever brand you choose, a fire blanket should be part of every home’s or office’s safety gear.

Well packaged and compact. Perfect for your car, camper and home. Very light weight.

These fire blankets seem to be durable and are heavy enough to be believably suited to their purpose of smothering a fire. Having not tested these on a real fire, I can only assume the functionality based on these factors is what it claims to do. These appear to be easy to unpack and the pull tabs along the bottom are functional and held by a loose Velcro that should tear away in the event it’s needed for a real fire. The packaging seems secure and well stitched. These will last in the long run. The grommet hole is a nice feature so that these can be hung and pulled against to ease in speedy deployment. There may be some quality consistency issues as one of the ones I received (in a two pack) had fraying on the black pull tab strap. That’s the one area a user would want to function in an emergency. So it’s a disappointment that this critical part was frayed right out of the package. Presumably there’s enough remaining to get a good purchase on the tabs to deploy the fire blanket if needed.

We have used one of these fire blankets in our kitchen and it likely saved our home or ourselves from injury. It was effective and the best option in the moment and I’m so glad we had one ready to use. Not all pots and pans have lids and sometimes lids are not stored in quickly accessible places or you can’t find it in time. Maybe don’t rely on fire blankets for complete fire safety, but it can’t hurt to have one in addition to smoke alarm and fire extinguishers- and know how and when to use it. We had ours for only 6 months before we had to use it! Never in 20 years did we ever have a pan go up in flames (or any fire of any kind for that matter) until that day. A guest was not thinking clearly and used our gas stove to heat up rubbing alcohol for cleaning - not all kitchen fires are grease! Weird things can happen you’d never expect. Luckily we had a fire blanket for the kitchen. To us, it was one of the best purchases we ever made. We always keep one near the kitchen now.

We gave these as Christmas gifts this year! Fire extinguishers are heavy, bulky, and would be tough to maneuver in a fire, especially while panicked. These will be much easier if needed.

High quality

We have had this blanket hanging on the wall in the pantry for a few months “just in case” and tonight we needed it. Tossing water on a fire escalated it and could have quickly become a New Year’s Eve disaster. I yelled for my wife to grab the blanket and the fire was out in seconds. No mess, no worrying about directions, it was just out. Thank you.
