Prepared Hero Emergency Fire Blanket - 4 Pack - Fire Suppression for Kitchen, 39” x 39” Fiberglass Fire Blanket for Home

Unfortunately, we had to use our fire blanket the other night. A couple of observations and tips. Observations: red tostados catch on fire very easily in a toaster! And the flames get high very quickly. Now as for the blanket: 1. The velcro is pretty strong on the storage bag, so if you don't have the bag hanging from a secure hook where you can just jerk on the tabs, releasing the blanket, it takes a second to get it to pull the strong velcro closure and get the blanket out of the bag. 2. The blanket does a good job at keeping the flames down, but it didn't "stop" the fire. The fire in the toaster continued to burn underneath the blanket after placing the blanket over the toaster. I assume because it's fiberglass and doesn't "drape" smoothly, allowing oxygen continued access. But it did a great job containing the flames, which were spreading quickly. That allowed us to fully extinguish the greatly diminished fire using baking soda. 3. Just like you have fire drills in schools and offices, we should've practiced using it before we actually needed to use it. In the "heat of the moment" (pun totally intended), your adrenaline is roaring and it's harder to think calmly and quickly. Bottom line- Totally recommend this product. Saved us from what could have been a bad kitchen/house fire! We ordered 2 more for the garage and vehicle!

These fire safety blankets are the best invention I have ever seen and I got them in a pack of four and being a normal human. I had to try it out and I don’t recommend it, but I take things to the extreme. We did it outside in a large field, but I created several different types of fires that were in contained Conditions. ( in a medal container ) I do not recommend you try this yourself unless you are a professional. But since I have already tried it, I can tell you it does put out grease fires and any other fire. You can throw at it as soon as you cover it and let it sit until it cools down the fire is out without a mess and the best part of it is the blanket is reusable. Yes once they are used, they do get a light brown scorch mark on them, but they do not smell and all you have to do is shake it out and follow the directions for cleaning and fold it back up. Put it back in the bag and it’s all set to be reused again I have Three that have never been. Used & I hope I never have to use them and I still have the one that we tried to make sure it worked properly which it did and that one is back in its bag ready to use again and has been sitting in its bag for over two weeks now and does not have any smell of smoke fire or anything coming from it so they are definitely reusable, but they are definitely something you want to have and hope you never have to use. There are several different companies selling these, but this is the only company that is 100% guaranteed so if you’re going to buy one or several only buy this specific brand other brands, I’ve tried in the past do not work. This is the only one I actually was shocked. It worked right away on a grease fire, it put it right out so definitely get these as a gift or just for peace of mind because you could lose more than just your property in a house fire and trust me. I know we had three houses that were close together across the street from where I live burn to the ground in less than 15 minutes. That’s how fast the fire spread and they lost everything they owned and we’re lucky. No one was killed so these blankets are a must buy and can be learned how to use by a child. Don’t forget only buy this brand. This is the 100% effective brand. There is well worth the money and the peace in mind you have knowing your home is safe.

Years ago I had a fire in my microwave. I was cooking a squash on a paper towel that, back then, must have had some micro metal in it, because it caught fire and I turned around and saw my microwave looking like a fireplace! Back then, I grabbed a kitchen towel, flooded it with water, opened the door and tossed it in, and it extinguished the flame. These blankets work the same way, without the water. I bought these for my friend who's twins are beginning to cook - age about 10 - and it's simple and easy enough that they can use it if ever needed. We had a practice session (no flames) after they opened them (it was a gift), so they'd know the process and not panic. We went through a simulation a few times until they were comfortable with it, especially the motion of laying the blanket down over the flame by moving it from front to back on the stove so the blanket protects your arms from flames. I felt it was important that they know this aspect and not panic and throw it wildly over the stove. They know it now and will have no issues if they need it. Let's hope never. I also bought myself one for our house as my mother can not use a fire extinguisher at this point. It's too heavy and she's not strong enough to pull the pin without difficulty. This solves the problem. And then I bought a bunch more and gave them to relatives for Christmas gifts. On You Tube there are videos of cottages, called bothies, in the UK that are shelters for hikers, open to all. Most have wood stoves in them for warmth. In every bothy I've seen, there is one of these hanging on the wall. They never need recharging, aren't heavy to use, and are quicker than an extinguisher to deploy. An excellent device.

That it's much safer than other means and no messes

Great product

Thankfully haven't had to use them, but they are easy to access.

Excellent ! Cant wait to put them in House two vehicles and a camper.

Wow, am I glad I bought this! I just had a kitchen fire and after screaming Oh my God multiple times as the pan flames were shooting up a foot high, I remembered this and opened my cabinet door, yanked it out by the ties and threw it on the pan. Fire out! Just like that. Didn’t have to figure out how to work my fire extinguisher and have a big mess all over my kitchen from fire extinguisher spray, not to mention the fact that it prevented my house from burning down. Now I’m telling all my friends about it because I think everyone should have one of these! Worth every penny. Just make sure you do as an instructed, and put a hook inside your kitchen cabinet and hang the blanket. Then it’s handy and you just yank it out. The blanket unfurls and you throw it on the pan. After the fire, I just folded it up and put it back and I hoped I never had to use it again. But I’m so glad it’s there.
