Emergency Fire Blankets for Home Kitchen - Mondoshop Fiberglass Fireproof Blankets for Camping, Picnic, Fireplace, School, Grill, Car, Office, Warehouse

I recently bought several fire blankets to put in the house, the camping trailer and the car. I realized that this would be a good thing for my kids who live away from home. Its one of those things you hope they never use but want to have just in case. I saw this set of 4 that is almost $10 cheaper than the other set of four I ordered not too long ago, I thought I would give them a try. After looking them over, I would say these are identical. They feel the same (almost an oily feeling thick mesh, but without any oil) They are packaged the same, just with different print on the outside. So I think its a good deal for the same thing. I made a safety wall in my pantry so the kids know where to go in an emergency for good tools (see picture) I also wanted it near the stove in case of a grease fire or other similar fire. I cant rate it on functionality since I havent used it yet (and hope to never have to!) But I can rate it on bringing me some peace of mind.

Hopefully these are never needed. But taking them out of the bag and trying them out they are NOT itchy and are flexible and thick. They will definitely keep you safe for long enough that in case there is a fire you will have a few min to get out to a safe spot.

A few weeks ago I was driving on the interstate and saw a huge ball of fire on the shoulder. As I got closer I realized it was an RV on fire! The truck pulling it had unhooked the hitched and pulled forward, and the owners were watching it burn. I called 911, and the fire department was already on its way. I could feel the heat of the fire as I drove past. It was really sad! I have often thought that I have little fire protection in my RV-and in my home. I saw an ad on social media for this product, and took the opportunity to do a little search and found this product. I will keep one in my kitchen and one in my RV, and will hope to never use them . . . but will have them should the need arise. I think this just needs to be a staple in every place where famlies gather and cook, for safety as well as peace of mind.

I hope to never have the opportunity to test this on an actual fire but I did take out and unfold a blanket and put it atop my range. Its large enough to smother a stovetop fire and feels thick and substantial. The best aspect of a fire blanket in comparison to a fire extinguisher is that the user is less likely to feel inhibited about using it as there is no extra mess or cleanup. I have encouraged many family members to purchase the same set of fire blankets that Ive just reviewed.

I heard the fire blanket on line, and think to have one for my kitchen. I have been looking for this for a while, found this one with reasonable price. By touching it, feels like not that steady. I was expecting stronger than this.

I hope I never have to put these to the test but they seem to be made of a heavy material that should drape well and conform nicely to whatever you lay it on. I would think that should help block the oxygen away from the burning surface, which would help extinguish the flames.

This is the sort of item everyone should have in their home and that everyone hopes never to need. Just imagine, though if you are faced with a stove top fire how glad you would be to have one of these on hand. The operation is simple - just pull on the two black fabric straps and the 40 inch square sheet of fiberglass is opened. Toss it onto the flames to extinguish and leave it there until it cools. You just saved your whole kitchen and possibly your house from burning to the ground. At a cost of two of these for $20, its really not something you should even need to consider for long. Make the purchase and place these where you can get to them in the blink of an eye. What could be more important than the safety of your family? Accidents happen. Be prepared!

These fire blankets are excellent to have for emergencies in the house and car, namely small fires in places where theres quite a bit of room to maneuver, and no fire extinguisher handy. The blankets are easy to deploy and store compact in their provided pouch, which has a nice high visibility red material that is super durable. They do a great job of actually putting fire out, and they have clearly printed instructions, so even someone who has never used one can use it properly.

The blanket is securely held in a easy to transport or easy to hang package, and it would be good to keep these in a place youll remember to find it. The tabs that stick out of the bottom are for pulling out the blanket quickly, and this would work well in an emergency situation. The blanket is large and should be enough to protect most full size adults. This should also be able to suppress a small flame if needed. Good to keep one in the kitchen and keep another around for the car. We are happy to have this on hand.

Grease fires are bad. Grease fires handled the wrong way can be catastrophic. With the amount of heat given off, getting a lid on a pan of burning grease can be intimidating and challenging. This is important because when the adrenaline hits - and it will - fine motor skills generally go out the window. This blanket increases the chance of successfully coving the fire as it relies only on gross motor skills. Your exposure to heat and fire is minimized as your hands and arms are shielded from the fire and heat. Operation is simple - just cover with the 3 x 3 blanket, turn off the heat, and leave it alone until it cools off. I would go a step beyond the instructions and also recommend calling your local emergency number, just in case. Its better to have the pros come out and make sure there is no fire extension into or above your stove or cabinets. $19.99 (at the time of this review) for two blankets is cheap insurance. Give the second one to a family member.
