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

A few weeks ago I was driving on the interstate and saw a huge ball of fire on the shoulder. As I got closer I realized it was an RV on fire! The truck pulling it had unhooked the hitched and pulled forward, and the owners were watching it burn. I called 911, and the fire department was already on its way. I could feel the heat of the fire as I drove past. It was really sad! I have often thought that I have little fire protection in my RV-and in my home. I saw an ad on social media for this product, and took the opportunity to do a little search and found this product. I will keep one in my kitchen and one in my RV, and will hope to never use them . . . but will have them should the need arise. I think this just needs to be a staple in every place where famlies gather and cook, for safety as well as peace of mind.

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.

Clearly I haven’t used this yet so the review is more about the idea if it works as claimed. Hopefully I never have to use this but it is good insurance to have. I love that it is small, doesn’t expire like fire extinguishers and you can hang it where you want or need it no pulling a pin or trying to unhook the holder when you are in a stressful situation, simply pull the tabs and the blanket comes out. I plan to have one in the car, and each barn on the farm.

These fire safety blankets arrived as expected, look just as pictured. Obviously, I can’t (or won’t) exactly test them out, so I just have to trust that they will do the job if I ever need them (hopefully I never do). Four pack is a good value, and I have stored them around the house (bedroom, office and kitchen), so they will be readily on hand should the need arise. Bright red packaging makes them easy to find in an emergency. Happy with this order.

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.

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.

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.

These fiberglass sheets are of good size and thickness, large enough to cover the body of an 8 year old child. They feel textured and itchy to the skin because of the material. I bought them as a precaution and the price seemed affordable to have a little security in case of a fire.

I have not tested this blanket on a fire. Yet, it feels like it will do the job well. It is compact, but heavy and thick. It is easy to keep around the kitchen. And it does not have an expiration date and be replaced every couple of years, unlike chemical fire extinguishers.

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.
