FAQs
What is a fire blanket used for?
A fire blanket is used to smother small fires by cutting off the supply of oxygen to the flames. They are particularly effective for kitchen and cooking oil fires, as well as clothing fires where the blanket can be wrapped around a person to extinguish the flames and help prevent serious burns.
Where should a Commander fire blanket be installed?
Commander fire blankets are most commonly installed in kitchens and catering environments, but are also suitable for schools, hospitals, laboratories, factories, offices and caravans. They should be mounted in a prominent, easily accessible location close to the most likely source of fire risk.
What sizes are available?
The Commander fire blanket range is available in three sizes: 1m × 1m (FB01), 1.2m × 1.2m (FB02) and 1.2m × 1.8m (FB03). A larger 1.8m × 1.75m size is also available separately as FB04.
What standard are Commander fire blankets certified to?
All Commander fire blankets are certified to BSEN1869:2019, the current British and European standard for fire blankets.
How is the fire blanket supplied?
Each Commander fire blanket is supplied in a compact red moulded plastic rigid case, which can be wall-mounted for quick and easy access in an emergency.
Can a fire blanket be used more than once?
No — fire blankets are single-use items. Once a fire blanket has been deployed to extinguish a fire, it should be replaced, even if it appears undamaged. This ensures it is ready and fully effective for the next emergency.
