How to use a fire blanket 🔥🔥
👉Fire blankets are effective for minor fires only.
👉Turn off all electricity and gas sources, such as the stove.
👉Completely cover the fire with the blanket to cut off oxygen supply.
👉Wrap the top edges of the blanket around your hands to prevent burns.
👉Gently place the blanket over the fire; do not throw it to avoid spreading flames.
👉Leave the blanket in place for about 30 minutes to cool down.
👉If unable to extinguish the fire, evacuate and call 111 for the fire brigade.
👉Fire blankets are single-use items; dispose of and replace them after use.
