A fast way to smother a small fire

A fire blanket is one of the simplest pieces of safety kit you can keep at home. Thrown over a small fire, it cuts off the air the flames need and smothers them quickly, before things spread. It is especially suited to the kitchen, where a pan catching light is one of the more common ways a fire starts.

Made for the kitchen

Most household fires begin near the cooker, so the natural home for a blanket is within easy reach of the hob, mounted on a nearby wall rather than tucked away in a cupboard. This 1m by 1m size gives enough cover for a pan or a small contained fire, and it can also help if clothing catches alight.

Quick-release in one motion

The blanket has a quick-release pull, so anyone in the room can grab the tabs and bring it out in a single movement. That matters when seconds count and there is no time to read instructions; you simply pull, hold the blanket up as a shield, and lay it over the flames.

How to use it

Hold the top edge so it protects your hands, place the blanket gently over the fire rather than throwing it, and turn off the heat source if you safely can. Leave it in place to cool and never lift it straight away to look, as fresh air can let the fire flare up again.

Keeping one to hand

Mount the blanket where you can reach it without leaning across the hob, and make sure everyone in the house knows where it lives and how the pull works. A blanket you can find in the dark is worth far more than one buried in a drawer. Free UK delivery over £99, worldwide shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I keep a fire blanket?
Mount it on a wall within easy reach of the hob, but not so close that you would have to lean over the flames to get it. Somewhere visible beats a cupboard, so anyone can grab it fast.

How do I use it on a pan fire?
Turn off the heat if you safely can, hold the top edge to protect your hands, and lay the blanket gently over the pan rather than throwing it. Leave it in place to smother the flames.

Can I lift it off to check straight away?
No. Leave the blanket over the fire to cool fully before lifting it. Removing it too soon lets fresh air reach the area, which can make the fire flare up again.

What size is this blanket?
It measures 1m by 1m, which gives enough cover for a pan or a small contained fire in the home, and it can also be wrapped around a person if clothing catches light.
