How to choose and use a household fire blanket? A guide to help you understand it.

Over the years, fires have always been a major threat to family safety. According to official statistics, in 2025, a total of 280,000 fires were reported in residential areas. Among them, fires caused by improper use of fire in the kitchen accounted for 32.5% of all household fires.

In the face of such a severe situation, it is particularly necessary for families to have fire blankets. Jiaanet Fire Protection, with a professional and dedicated attitude, meticulously creates high-quality fire blankets, safeguarding the peace of thousands of households and becoming the "fire prevention tool" that protects home safety.

A fire blanket, also known as a fire extinguishing sheet, fireproof blanket or escape blanket, is a fabric made by weaving materials such as glass fibers through special treatment. It can isolate heat sources and flames, and can be used to extinguish oil pan fires or wrapped around the body to assist in escape.

The common specifications of fire blankets are usually named by "MJT" followed by the size. For example, MJT1000×1000mm represents a fire blanket of 1m×1m. The commonly used specifications are 1m×1m, 1.2m×1.2m, and 1.5m×1.5m.

Depending on the type of substrate used, the Jiaanet fire extinguishing blanket can be classified into the following main types:

• Glass fiber fire blanket (with a temperature resistance of 500℃): Soft in texture, resistant to high temperatures, corrosion-resistant, and not prone to damage. It is made of fine-spun, dense, alkali-free glass fiber material, with alkali-free fabric weaving. It does not affect the fireproof protection effect while significantly reducing fiber leakage, effectively improving the skin-friendliness of the fabric.
• Silicone-coated fire blanket (with a temperature resistance of 700°C +): A double-sided silicone coating is added on the glass fiber base material to further enhance the temperature resistance and service life. It can quickly cover the fire source, isolate the air, is not prickly and can improve the user experience, and has a better fire extinguishing effect.
• Ceramic fiber fire blanket (able to withstand 1000℃ temperature): It has superior heat resistance and is mainly used in high-temperature working environments in the industrial sector, such as factories, welding sites, gas stations, and other high-risk scenarios.

Apart from basic understanding, we need to have a deeper insight into the core value of the Fire Extinguishing Blanket. The JUANTE fire extinguishing blanket is adaptable to various emergency situations and is suitable for initial fires involving oil spills, electrical appliances, solid substances such as paper and fabric, as well as human clothing. Its advantages lie in the following aspects:

• High-temperature flame retardant protection: Utilizing flame-retardant sewing thread and flame-retardant webbing, the fabric is flame-resistant, resistant to high temperatures, and has a tight texture. It exceeds industry standards and effectively isolates flames from oxygen, quickly extinguishing the fire.
• No secondary pollution: After use, it will not produce dust or other pollutants, being environmentally friendly.
• Insulation and high-temperature resistance: The non-alkali glass fiber material is thicker than the ordinary medium-alkali glass fiber fire blanket fabric. It has insulation properties. The increased thickness enhances heat insulation, provides better flame retardancy, and the fabric is thicker.
• Lightweight, with reliable after-sales service: Simple configuration, easy operation, reusable when undamaged, covered by PICC insurance, enjoying professional after-sales support, making use more reassuring.
• High-quality materials, soft texture: Easy to wrap unevenly-shaped objects on the surface, such as oil pans and gas stoves.

Fire blankets, as emergency fire-fighting equipment, should be fixed or placed in a location that is easily accessible and not accessible to children. They should not be used to pad items or be used for other purposes. It is recommended to check them every 12 months and replace them immediately if any damage or contamination is found.

1. Step 1: In case of a fire, quickly retrieve the fire extinguisher blanket and hold both sides of the flame-retardant straps with your hands.
2. Step 2: Gently unfold the fire blanket and hold it in your hand as a shield.
3. Step 3: Spread the fire blanket from the side close to the body outward. Let the fire blanket first separate the person's body from the flames, preventing the person from being burned.
4. Step 4: Completely cover the flames. Make sure the fire blanket fully covers the fire source, and press the edges tightly to prevent air from entering.
5. Step 5: Do not open and inspect immediately after use. Wait for at least 15 minutes or more to ensure there is no risk of re-ignition before removing it.

Be careful to avoid getting glass fibers into your skin: The diameter of glass fibers is very small, and if they come into contact with your skin through friction, they can easily cause a cut. If you get pricked by one, you can repeatedly remove it with adhesive items such as tape. If the pain persists, please seek medical attention promptly.

Fire blankets cannot completely replace fire escape equipment: Fire blankets do not have the ability to completely block smoke and high temperatures. If you want to escape by covering yourself with a fire blanket, it is recommended to also wear a filtering fire self-rescue respirator (referred to as a smoke mask), as well as independent smoke detectors and other fire protection products, to build a comprehensive family fire safety defense line.

Regular inspection: Conduct an inspection of the fire blanket at least once a year to check for any damages. If there are any damages, replace it immediately.
