HOW TO STORE YOUR FIRE BLANKET
Proper storage of fire blankets ensures they are ready for immediate use during small-scale fire incidents. Placement, visibility, and condition all contribute to effective deployment and user safety in critical situations. Consider the following when storing your fire blanket:
-
Store in a marked container: Mount at shoulder height for easy access, especially in areas with elevated fire risks.
-
Position in key locations: Install near kitchen ranges, industrial stoves, or welding stations where flammable materials are handled.
-
Avoid unsuitable environments: Keep away from heat sources, moisture, or corrosive substances that could degrade the blanket over time.
-
Train personnel: Ensure staff are familiar with how to deploy the blanket to extinguish fires on surfaces or clothing.
-
Inspect regularly: Perform visual checks to confirm the container is sealed, the label is intact, and the blanket is not damaged or exposed.
-
Maintain visibility: Do not place behind doors, in drawers, or areas blocked by furniture or equipment.
Correct storage supports quick response and minimizes delay during fire emergencies.
