FAQs About Fire Blanket Servicing
How does a fire blanket work?
A fire blanket works by smothering a small fire and cutting off its oxygen supply, which is a key ingredient for flames to burn. When placed over a fire, it helps stop the fire from spreading and gives you time to safely exit or fully extinguish the flames.
When should I use a fire blanket?
You should use a fire blanket on small, contained fires such as kitchen pan fires, cooking oil flames or when clothing catches fire. It’s most effective when applied quickly and completely over the base of the fire to suppress it safely.
Do fire blankets expire?
Fire blankets don’t expire like perishable goods, but they do have a limited service life and will eventually degrade in effectiveness over time. Many manufacturers and safety guides recommend replacing them every 5–7 years depending on storage and condition.
Do fire blankets have an expiry date?
Most fire blankets don’t come with a printed expiry date, but they do have a practical lifespan after which they may no longer perform reliably. It’s important to check the manufacturer’s instructions and replace the blanket if it’s older than the recommended period or shows signs of wear.
What are fire blankets made of?
Fire blankets are typically made from fire-resistant materials such as woven fibreglass or specially treated fibres designed to withstand high temperatures safely. These materials help the blanket smother flames without catching fire itself.
Do fire blankets need servicing?
While fire blankets don’t have complex parts that require technical servicing, they should be visually checked regularly as part of your fire safety plan and, in commercial settings, inspected annually by a competent provider. Annual fire blanket servicing helps spot damage, ensure correct folding and verify accessibility.
How often should a fire blanket be checked?
You should visually inspect your fire blanket regularly — ideally monthly or more often — to ensure it’s clean, undamaged, accessible and correctly positioned. Any sign of wear, tears or compromised packaging should prompt replacement.
Where should a fire blanket be located?
Place a fire blanket in an easily reachable, visible spot close to potential fire hazards such as kitchens, workshops or cooking areas. Ensuring everyone knows its location can make all the difference in an emergency.
Can a fire blanket be reused?
Fire blankets used on very small, contained incidents may be reusable if they remain completely undamaged, but most safety guidance recommends replacing them after any deployment to be sure they’ll perform when needed. Your peace of mind and safety come first.
How can I arrange a fire blanket service near me?
To arrange professional fire blanket servicing near you, contact a reputable fire safety provider who offers inspections as part of your fire safety maintenance programme. A local service ensures your blanket is checked and compliant with current standards, helping protect people and property.
