Why You Need a Fire Blanket in Your Kitchen

<p></p> <img src=https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dcr-apis/wp_contents/uploads/DCR-ADMIN/fire%20blanket.jpeg alt=undefined style=height: ;width: /> <p></p> <p>My friend was telling me about a recent fire in her kitchen. Luckily, she had two fire extinguishers because the first one was a dud. She quickly put out the fire but had an awful mess to clean up. After that experience, she decided to keep a few fire blankets in her house—two in the kitchen and one by the barbeque on her wood deck.&nbsp;</p> <p>After hearing her story, I started shopping for fire blankets online. I found out that these blankets are widely available and come in sizes ranging from small to commercial-grade. Prices range from $10 for a small one to $100 or more. The blankets are made of fire-resistant material and some have certifications. They’re designed to smother kitchen fires, clothing fires and small electrical fires.&nbsp;</p> <p>FYI, to use a fire blanket, hold it out in front of you, drape it over the flames, and leave it there until the fire is out and the area cools off.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/ target=_self>Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies.</a></p> <p><strong>Related Articles</strong><br><a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/Home-Safety-Security/ target=_self>The Homeowner's Guide to Home Safety &amp; Security</a><br><a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/ target=_self>Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top Rated Local Companies</a><br><a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/ target=_self>Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a> <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-top-rated-companies/hub/ca/san-francisco-bay-area/ target=_self>Find Top Rated Companies in the San Francisco Bay Area</a>&nbsp;</p>
