Essential Kitchen Fire Safety: Understand the Safety Features of Fiberglass Fire Blankets
What Is a Fiberglass Fire Blanket?
The Basic Principle of Fire Blankets
Fire blankets are emergency tools that extinguish small fires by smothering them and cutting off oxygen. They are especially effective for oil-based fires in kitchens where extinguishers might be risky.
Features of Fiberglass Material
Fiberglass is heat-resistant up to 550°C+, flame-retardant, flexible, lightweight, and durable—making it the perfect material for fire blankets.

Common Causes of Kitchen Fires
- Unattended stovetops
- Overheated oil pans
- Electrical short circuits
- Children playing in the kitchen
Fire Spreads Faster Than You Think
A single oil flare-up can become a kitchen-wide fire within 30 seconds. Fast, effective suppression tools are critical in these situations.
Core Benefits of Fiberglass Fire Blankets
