Emergency Fire Blankets for Home Kitchen - Mondoshop Fiberglass Fireproof Blankets for Camping, Picnic, Fireplace, School, Grill, Car, Office, Warehouse

I used to keep fire extinguishers around the house, but it was such a pain and expense to keep them serviced and pressurized. Plus does anyone really know how to use them? I never even read the instructions. I like the fire blankets because they take up less space, they require no maintenance, and even kids know how to use them. I keep them anywhere a flame might be-- kitchen of course, outside under the grill, places where candles are lit and by the dryer (they say lint fires can happen). This gives me peace of mind. Get some so you can also have peace of mind.

This fire blanket is a must have. It comes in a ready to hang bag with easy Velcro opening for emergencies. The instructions with photos are on the front of the bag. The heavy weight blanket can be used to put out a fire on the stove top or it can be used to put out a clothing fire. The storage bag measures 13 x 8 and is about an inch thick so it is easy to store in a laundry room or garage.

I’ve ordered these just in case. I haven’t had a need for them so I can’t vouch for their effectiveness. I have two small children, so these are great to have. Also, I gifted one to my mom because she’s had a grease fire before I mistakenly put water on it so this one just extinguishers it immediately. These are great in case of emergency. highly recommend.

We have yet to test this on an actual fire - fingers crossed we never even need it. But since we have all gas appliances in our house, we needed the peace of mind a fire blanket rated for gas stove fires would provide. This fire blanket is packaged in bright red, so we cant miss it, even in an emergency. I have it next to the fire extinguisher in our kitchen, within easy reach. I need to buy at least one more for our upstairs gas range, and a duplicate of this will do just fine.

We have multiple fire extinguishers in our home but not all fires are the same. Some may respond better to other methods of extinguishing. Half of all structural fires in the United States start in the kitchen. According to the National Fire Protection Association US fire departments responded to an estimated average of 172,900 home structure fires per year started by cooking activities in 2014-2018. These fires caused an average of 550 civilian deaths, 4,820 reported civilian fire injuries, and more than $1 billion in direct property damage per year. A quick search on YouTube can demonstrate just how often cooks and kitchen workers do the absolute wrong thing when confronted by a kitchen fire. Spoiler: pouring water on a grease fire is a recipe for disaster. Along with an our fire extinguishers, a fire blanket can help add security to our cooking efforts. These are well packaged and small enough to fit in any kitchen. They are large enough to cover most home stoves. We keep one, along with extinguishers in our home, garage, and camper. Hopefully you’ll never need to use it but, if a fire breaks out it could be a lifesaver. Full Disclosure: I acquired this as a Vine user.

This is the sort of item everyone should have in their home and that everyone hopes never to need. Just imagine, though if you are faced with a stove top fire how glad you would be to have one of these on hand. The operation is simple - just pull on the two black fabric straps and the 40 inch square sheet of fiberglass is opened. Toss it onto the flames to extinguish and leave it there until it cools. You just saved your whole kitchen and possibly your house from burning to the ground. At a cost of two of these for $20, its really not something you should even need to consider for long. Make the purchase and place these where you can get to them in the blink of an eye. What could be more important than the safety of your family? Accidents happen. Be prepared!

I really dont know about Fire Blankets, but I have to say these are really heavy. I think they would do great putting out fires. Since, thank God, we havent had a fire, I cant really say these are the best or worst of this kind of product. But, like I said, these are strong and sturdy. Review Done: 4/27/2023

I cant comment right now on the actual functionality of this blanket as I thankfully have not had any fires I have had to put out, but from what I have read this is a pretty basic item that is good to keep around. It is compact (about 12 x 8 when folded), doesnt expire, easy to use (just put it over the fire to smother it out), and can be used on any small fire including grease. With these benefits and the fact that these are fairly inexpensive, I cant see why anybody would *not* get at least one of these.

Very handy mounting hole for a rapid deployment fire blanket. The bag is well made so its likely to stay put when you yank the blanket out by its pull tabs in a rush. The blanket is easily deployed and unfolds almost automatically as you pull it from the bag. A great item for around the house, as many kitchen fires can be extinguished without the need for a dry powder that makes a huge mess.

Fires need air, and the theory is that you can throw this blanket over a small fire to starve it of air. How well it works will depend upon how well a person can cut off the supply of air that feeds the fire. This fiberglass blanket is a bit over 3 feet square. It is big enough to throw over a small fire or to cover part of a person, bug not to wrap the body. In some circumstances I think that even if you can’t extinguish the fire with the blanket you might suppress it to slow its spread. Could be a useful piece of emergency equipment. I held a lighter up to it and did not see any evidence of melting or other deformity from the flame. It is what it is advertised to be and does what it is supposed to within its size limitations. Keep it with your fire extinguisher as an additional fire fighting tool.
