A fire blanket is designed to develop clear smaller fires. It consists of a sheet of flame retardant material which is placed over a fire to smother. The sheet is in an easily accessible container which can spread quickly if required. Your ceiling is in an easily accessible and near a potential risk to be mounted.
To explain how a blanket of fire, it is important to know how a fire. For a fire to be switched on and continue to burn, the four components of the fire tetrahedron must be present: heat, fuel, oxygen and a chemical chain reaction. If a fire blanket over a burning object in the position to form an airtight seal, it interrupts the flow of oxygen to the fire and thus, sets the fire, as it removes one of the components of the fire tetrahedron.
Fire blankets have many uses, is most often thought of in the event of a fire for cooking, but can also be used for a person whose clothes, on paper or trash fires may settle used to wrap around a hot or burning object on safe place remove. Through the use of a blanket on a fire is essential if your hands with the blanket that folds to protect them from heat, protecting them.
Whether for use at work or at home, you must ensure that any blanket purchasing BSEN 1869:1997 approved with a Kitemark BS. This provides an assurance that was the ceiling, the flame resistance, drapability, flexibility and vapor barrier manufactured and tested under strict quality controlled conditions, such as when lives are at stake, can not afford to compromise.
