Orange fire blankets are safety products designed to smother small fires by cutting off the oxygen supply, effectively preventing flames from spreading. These blankets are typically made from fire-resistant materials such as fiberglass, which are capable of withstanding high temperatures without burning. They are designed to be used in emergencies, offering a quick and easy way to extinguish small fires in kitchens, laboratories, workshops, and other environments where fire hazards may exist.
The bright orange color of these blankets makes them highly visible, ensuring they can be quickly located in an emergency. Fire blankets are often stored in accessible containers or cabinets near potential fire hazards and can be deployed by pulling the blanket from its packaging and placing it over the fire. Once deployed, the blanket seals the fire, smothering the flames and preventing re-ignition.
