Fire Blanket, Pattern : Plain

A fire blanket is a safety device designed to extinguish incipient (starting) fires. It consists of a sheet of flexible fire retardant material, typically woven fibreglass, used to smother a fire in an emergency. Small fire blankets, such as for use in kitchens and around the home are folded into a quick-release contraption for ease of storage. These blankets are usually mounted in vertical quick-release container so that they can be easily pulled out and wrapped round a person whose clothes are on fire. Due to its simplicity, a fire blanket may be more helpful for someone who is inexperienced with fire extinguishers.
