This size is particularly suitable for:

• Small Class F fires involving cooking oil or fat in frying pans and larger cooking containers.
• Small fires in professional kitchens, shared kitchens and other workplaces.
• Small fires involving kitchen appliances, provided that the fire can be approached safely.
• Small fires involving waste bins, packaging materials or similar objects.

• Gas fires when the gas supply cannot be safely shut off.
• Fires that cannot be completely covered by the blanket.
• Situations in which approaching the fire would put you in danger.
• Fires involving electric vehicles or large lithium-ion battery systems. These require specialised fire safety equipment and procedures.

Which Size Should You Choose: 1 × 1 m or 1.2 × 1.8 m?

• 1 × 1 m: Recommended for small fires in home kitchens, including Class F cooking oil and fat fires involving frying pans and other small cooking containers.
• 1.2 × 1.8 m: Recommended when additional coverage is required for larger cooking containers, workplaces or personal protection in an emergency.

Protective Storage Bag or Box – Which Should You Choose?

• Protective Storage Box: Particularly suitable for fixed locations, professional kitchens, offices and public areas. The rigid housing protects the folded blanket from everyday contact and helps keep it visible and accessible.

Both versions contain the same DVM 1.2 × 1.8 m fire blanket, made from heavy-duty fiberglass fabric (430+ g/m²) and tested by TÜV SÜD in accordance with EN 1869:2019. The difference is the protective storage container.

• Suitable for mounting on a wall near an area where a fire may occur.
• Clear instructions printed on the front of the box.
• Two pull straps allow the fire blanket to be removed quickly.
• Designed to keep the fire blanket readily accessible in an emergency.

How to Use the Fire Blanket

1. Remove the Blanket: Pull both straps to release the blanket from its storage box. Hold the blanket in front of your hands for protection.
2. Cover the Fire: Carefully place the blanket over the entire fire to restrict the oxygen supply. Do not throw the blanket onto the fire.
3. Leave the Blanket in Place: Keep the fire covered for at least 20 minutes and allow the affected object to cool. Do not remove the blanket while there is a risk of reignition.

For Clothing Fires: If a person's clothing catches fire, use the larger blanket to cover the burning clothing and help extinguish the flames. Do not cover the person's face or obstruct breathing. Seek medical assistance for burns.

Only attempt to extinguish a fire when it is small and safe to approach. If the fire cannot be controlled safely, evacuate the area and contact the emergency services.
