How to Use a Fire Blanket

Fire & Rescue NSW recommends that everyone have a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket in their kitchen and know how to use them.

I started a fire on accident last year, I forgot on the stove a frying pan with oil in it. It caught fire. I entered the house with flames to the ceiling (I have a very low ceiling here) and I panicked. I turned off the gas immediately. I knew not to throw water on it but I didn't know what else to do. My boyfriend arrived in time and took a normal towel and threw it on the fire. It stopped immediately. But after a minute or so he took it off. With a bellowing woosh it caught fire again!! It almost burned my boyfriend's face! I had to leave it to cool down. Thank you for the tutorial. These things should be taught in school

Never thought of this. I do have fire extinguishers around the house and garage.

if a fire is containable use a fire blanket, if it's too large use an extinguisher.

Excellent. In the USA fire blankets seem to be an uncommon recommendation. I want one! I'm going to ask the local fire department what they think about blankets.

Thanks I'm pretty sure I'll forget all that at the moment flames beginning to reach the ceiling

saw one of these in one of the resident evil movies lol character used the blanket to protect herself from an explosion. I wonder how useful a fire blanket would be in that situation in real life lol;

Use the fire blanket if you can't place the lid on the burning pot.

hi i have a question how about if whole house burn and we trapped inside?
can we use the fire blanket for wrap ourself to avoid the fire to exit through the door? can or not?

Very nice and simple. Is it copyrighted or can we download and use it?

We were taught in school to just put a lid on a burning pot to extiguish it.

[moonwolf]

just use a lid it cheap and comes with the pot or pan

So in most cases we are told to run from fire but there is a limit when you should stop running and fight the fire... what sector of people is targeting this line ? and why only some?::)

Teenie tiny fire…. All intimidating and serious..

[Max_Doubt]

Meh. Just keep a moist towel handy in a freezer bag with some anti-mold thrown in.

Everyone at the start of the video: Puts lid on the pot and turns off the stove.
Nobody: Reaches for the expensive fire blanket...
Edit: Not necessarily saying that's the right thing to do because if whatever in that pot explodes firey hell all over the place I want a fireproof blanket between it and me but... 99% of the time I doubt I'd even think of the fire blanket in this circumstance.

You don't really need to wait for 30mins, actually you just need to wait for 3mins to cool down.
