Don‘t Let Your Fire Blanket Make Things Worse: 5 Fire Blanket Myths Debunked

Myth #1: A fire blanket can put out any fire. No! Never use it on live electrical fires (risk of shock) or chemical fires.
Myth #2: It can be reused indefinitely. After one use, replace it or have it inspected-fibers may be damaged.
Myth #3: Cheap ones work fine. A low-quality Fire Extinguisher Blanket may lack silicone coating, causing fiberglass shedding and skin irritation, and may have no production date.
Myth #4: Just throw it on. Correct method: hold the pull rings with both hands, keep the blanket between you and the fire, and lay it from your side outward.
Myth #5: A fire blanket replaces all other tools. Actually, EV fire blanket, car fire blanket, and welding blanket are designed for different scenarios and cannot replace each other.

Remember: proper use saves lives.
