The FireShield soft case fire blanket is a type of fire safety equipment that consists of a piece of fire-resistant woven fibreglass material and is used to extinguish small fires. It is designed to be stored in a soft case for easy access in case of an emergency. Also, the dimension variants we offer are large enough to cover most small fires.
The fire blanket works by cutting off the oxygen supply and smothering the fire when laid over the top of the flame.
Fire blankets are often used in kitchens and laboratories where pan, oil or cooking fires can occur. Simply remove it from the case, unfold it, and place it over the fire, making sure to cover the entire area.
Some common uses for a fire blanket include:
Kitchen fires: Smother a cooking oil fire by using a fire blanket. To prevent flames from spreading, wrap the saucepan in the blanket before removing it from the heat.
Also, keep additional fire blankets on hand to use if needed. Clothing fires: To smother the flames of a clothing fire, drape a fire blanket over the person and apply pressure to extinguish them.
Electrical fires: A fire blanket can be used to smother a small electrical appliance fire, preventing the flames from spreading.
Remember that a fire blanket should only be used on small fires, never large ones. If the flames grow beyond control, evacuate immediately and call the fire brigade. This fire blanket meets BS EN 1869:2019 standards. This is a European Standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for fire blankets intended for use by the general public. The standard covers aspects such as size, materials, labelling, and packaging of the fire blanket.

This document covers the design, construction, performance and labelling of fire blankets. It is intended to ensure their safety and effectiveness for use in specific environments.BS EN 1869:2019 specifies requirements for materials, size, packaging, labelling, and testing of fire blankets.

A: A hard case fire blanket is a fire-resistant blanket that is encased in a hard, sturdy container made of metal or plastic. This type of fire blanket is typically used in industrial or commercial settings, as the hard case provides protection for the blanket and makes it more durable for use in rough environments.
A soft case fire blanket, on the other hand, is a fire blanket that is encased in a soft, flexible cover made of cloth or fabric. This type of fire blanket is typically used in residential settings or for personal use, as it is lightweight and easy to carry. Soft-case fire blankets are also less expensive than hard-case fire blankets. Both types of fire blankets serve the same purpose, which is to extinguish or contain small fires, and to protect people from flames and heat. However, the type of fire blanket you choose will depend on your specific needs and the environment in which you will use it.
A: Fire blankets are designed to be used on small fires, such as those involving cooking oils and fats, clothing, and electrical equipment. They are not intended to be used on large fires, such as structural fires, as they are not big enough to cover the entire fire.
A: To use a fire blanket:
Grab the blanket and remove it from its container.
Ensure that the blanket covers the entire fire.
Hold the blanket over the fire using the corners of the blanket, making sure to keep your arms and hands protected from the heat.
Slowly lower the blanket onto the fire, smothering the flames and cutting off the supply of oxygen.
Once the fire is out, leave the blanket in place and call the fire department.
It's important to note that fire blankets are not designed to be used on people who are on fire. In this situation, it's best to use a fire extinguisher or cover the person with a heavy, fire-resistant material, such as a rug or a coat, to smother the flames.

Fire Protection Shop specialise in the supply of high-quality fire extinguishers. There are many different classifications of fire and so our products include a variety of different extinguisher types. For example, we offer water or foam fire extinguishers for solid combustibles and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers for flammable liquid or electrical fires. Each extinguishing agent comes with its benefits. Typically, water extinguishers are cheaper, produce a cooling effect and prevent reignition once the fire has been extinguished. Carbon dioxide extinguishers are clean agents, they leave no residue, are suitable for electrical fires and are often used on liquid fires which include petrol, oil or other solvents.
In addition to our extinguishers, we offer a range of fire safety products to both domestic and commercial premises. This includes the supply of fire blankets, extinguisher stands, smoke alarms, first aid kits and much more. Our entire range is sourced from reputable brand manufacturers at competitive prices. Also, all of our products carry a full warranty and guarantee and are supplied with relevant fixings where applicable.
