Fire Blankets

Fire blankets, along with fire extinguishers and fire hose reels, are essential first-response firefighting equipment. They play a vital role in controlling fires during their earliest stages, potentially preventing significant property damage, injuries, or even loss of life. With proper training, building occupants can assess a fire and determine whether they are capable of using a fire blanket to safely extinguish a developing blaze.

Fire blankets are particularly effective for tackling hot oil fires, such as those that occur in frying pans or deep fat fryers. They can also be used to extinguish flames on clothing. Fire blankets work by smothering the fire, cutting off its oxygen supply and effectively extinguishing the flames.

Ensuring that these first-response fire safety measures are always ready for action is crucial for both their performance and the safety of users. At HOF Fire & Security, our technicians have extensive experience in inspecting, testing, and maintaining these critical firefighting components, ensuring they are always reliable and effective when needed.
