The basic role of the fire blanket

A fire extinguishing blanket is not an ordinary blanket, according to the material used, a fire extinguishing blanket can be divided into asbestos fire-extinguishing blanket, glass fiber fire-extinguishing blanket, high silica fire-extinguishing blanket, carbon fiber fire-extinguishing blanket, ceramic fiber fire-extinguishing blanket, etc. A fire extinguishing blanket is a common fire fighting appliance, in the early stage of fire, it can put out the fire with oxygen at a faster speed to control the spread of fire, it can also be used as a protective item for timely escape. As long as the blanket is wrapped around the body, the blanket itself has the characteristics of fire prevention and heat insulation, which can protect the human body well during the escape process.

Advantages of fire blanket compared with wet quilt

Wet rags or wet quilts can also play a fire retardant role, they can not only isolate oxygen but also play a cooling role. When the water on wet rags or wet quilts evaporates, they will absorb heat and will not make them ignite for a short period of time, but if the fire is large, the water will be dried up over a period of time, thus causing the cotton fire extinguishing equipment to burn.

The fire blankets themselves are made of non-combustible materials and the temperature at the extinguishing site usually cannot change their chemical properties, so they are more suitable for extinguishing fires. In the event of a fire, the blanket can be wrapped around the entire body or gently covered with flames to extinguish a small, incipient fire. Such a blanket similar in appearance to an ordinary blanket is a new lightweight and practical firefighting tool.
