Thinking of buying a Fire Blanket? Think again!
➡️ The Ontario Fire Marshal (OFM) does not endorse fire blankets for consumer use.
➡️ Fire blankets may provide a false sense of security and are not required by law in Ontario.
➡️There are no Canadian safety standards for fire blankets.
➡️Using a fire blanket requires getting dangerously close to the flames, increasing the risk of burns or spreading the fire.
A tight-fitting lid is the safest way to extinguish a stovetop fire. If you would like some added protection in your home, buy a fire extinguisher instead 🧯
