Fire blankets, as a convenient initial fire-fighting tool, are widely used in many industries with fire hazards due to their environmental friendliness and reusability. The following are the main industries that currently use fire blankets more frequently and their typical scenarios:
1. Catering industry
Application scenarios: Kitchen oil pan fires, accidental ignition of gas stoves.
The reason is that fire blankets can effectively isolate air, extinguish grease fires (Class F fires), and will not contaminate food or equipment like water or dry powder fire extinguishers.
Typical cases: Chain restaurants, hotel kitchens, food processing workshops.
2. Families and public places
Application scenarios: Home kitchens, senior apartments, kindergartens, dormitories.
Reason: Simple operation (no professional training required), suitable for emergency use by the elderly or children, and can also be used to wrap the body for escape.
Trend: In some countries, fire blankets have become standard equipment for household fire protection (such as some countries in the European Union).
3. Industry and Manufacturing
Sub-sectors
Chemical plant/Laboratory: Extinguishing small chemical fires (corrosion-resistant material fire blankets are required).
Electronics factory: Protect precision equipment and prevent secondary damage caused by dry powder fire extinguishing agents.
Metal processing: Covering fires involving metals such as magnesium and sodium (special fire blankets).
Advantages: No residue, reducing downtime for cleaning.
4. Transportation
Application scenarios
New energy vehicles: Initial control of battery pack fires (equipped with some models).
Ships/aircraft: Rapid fire extinguishing in confined Spaces to avoid toxic gases.
Freight vehicles: Emergency equipment for transporting flammable goods.
5. Electricity and New Energy
Scene: Substation, photovoltaic power station, wind turbine generator set.
In electrical fires (Class E), high insulation is required. Fire blankets are safer than water-based fire extinguishers.
6. Educational training and medical institutions
School/Laboratory: Protection for chemistry Experiment classes.
Hospital: Electrical equipment or alcohol in the operating room may catch fire. Avoid irritating smoke.
7. Special places
Temples/ancient buildings: Fire prevention for wooden structures and fire blankets can reduce damage to cultural heritage.
Outdoor camping: Extinguishing the embers of the campfire conforms to the principle of leaving no trace in the forest.
Industry growth drivers
Regulations require: For instance, China's "Code for Fire Safety in Catering Establishments" explicitly recommends that fire blankets be installed in kitchens.
Enhanced safety awareness: The demand for home and electric vehicle scenarios is growing rapidly.
Technological improvements: High-temperature resistant materials (such as silicone-coated glass fiber) have expanded industrial applications.
Precautions
Fire blankets are only suitable for initial small fires (it is recommended that the flame height be less than 1 meter). For large-scale fires, they need to be used in conjunction with other fire-fighting equipment.
When making a choice, attention should be paid to the material (such as glass fiber vs. ceramic fiber) and the certification standard (such as EN 1869).
