What Is a Fire Blanket?
A fire blanket is emergency fire-safety equipment designed to cover a suitable small fire and help separate it from the surrounding air when used according to the product instructions.
Fire blankets are commonly considered for areas such as:
- Kitchens
- Food preparation areas
- Laboratories
- Workshops
- Institutions
- Hospitality facilities
- Selected workplaces
They should form part of a wider fire-safety plan rather than being treated as the only fire-response equipment.
Fire Blanket Sizes Available
Bansi Safety Gear currently stocks two fire blanket sizes.
1.2 × 1.2 m Fire Blanket
The 1.2 × 1.2 m option provides a compact blanket for suitable workplace or kitchen emergency arrangements.
It may be considered where a smaller blanket is appropriate for the identified hazard.
View the individual Fire Blanket 1.2 × 1.2 m product for the current specification and price.
1.8 × 1.8 m Fire Blanket
The 1.8 × 1.8 m blanket provides a larger coverage area.
It may be considered where the workplace requires a larger blanket based on the identified risk and emergency plan.
Check the exact product page for the current specification.
Which Fire Blanket Size Should I Choose?
Do not choose a fire blanket by price alone.
Consider:
- Intended location
- Likely fire hazard
- Area requiring coverage
- Workplace emergency plan
- Product instructions
- Ease of access
- Required quantity
A larger blanket provides more coverage, but size alone does not determine whether the product is suitable for a particular incident.
Fire Blankets for Kitchens
Commercial and institutional kitchens may include fire blankets as part of their emergency fire-safety arrangements.
Possible locations include:
- Restaurants
- Hotels
- School kitchens
- Hospital kitchens
- Staff kitchens
- Catering facilities
- Food preparation areas
The blanket should be easy to locate and access.
It should not be hidden behind appliances, stock or furniture.
Other fire-safety equipment may also be required depending on the kitchen hazards.
Fire Blankets for Restaurants
Restaurants may face fire hazards from:
- Cooking equipment
- Electrical appliances
- Heat sources
- Kitchen operations
- Other combustible materials
A fire blanket may form part of the emergency equipment provided in suitable food-preparation areas.
However, staff should understand the workplace emergency procedure and the instructions supplied with the blanket.
Fire Blankets for Hotels
Hotels may require fire-safety equipment in several different areas.
These can include:
- Kitchens
- Restaurants
- Staff areas
- Laundry areas
- Maintenance departments
A fire blanket may be suitable for selected locations.
Other areas may require extinguishers, hose reels, signs or different fire-response equipment.
Fire Blankets for Laboratories
Laboratories may contain:
- Heat sources
- Chemicals
- Electrical equipment
- Combustible materials
- Experimental equipment
A fire blanket may form part of the emergency arrangements where it is suitable for the identified risk.
However, laboratory hazards vary considerably.
Always follow the laboratory risk assessment and emergency procedure.
Fire Blankets for Schools & Institutions
Schools, colleges and institutions may consider fire blankets for suitable:
- Kitchens
- Laboratories
- Workshops
- Training areas
- Staff facilities
The equipment should be clearly positioned and included in the organisation’s fire-safety plan.
Fire Blankets for Workplaces
Fire blankets may also be considered for selected commercial and industrial workplaces.
Examples include:
- Workshops
- Maintenance areas
- Staff kitchens
- Laboratories
- Food production areas
- Institutional facilities
The need for a blanket should be determined by the actual hazard rather than installing one simply because other workplaces use them.
Fire Blanket vs Fire Extinguisher
Fire blankets and fire extinguishers serve different purposes.
Fire Blanket
A fire blanket provides a physical covering for suitable small incidents where its design and instructions allow its use.
Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher uses an extinguishing agent.
Different extinguisher types are selected according to the fire hazard.
A workplace may require both.
For extinguisher options, browse Fire Extinguishers in Kenya.
Fire Blanket Placement
Placement is important.
A fire blanket should be installed or stored where it can be reached quickly without unnecessarily approaching the hazard.
Consider:
- Visibility
- Accessibility
- Clear pathways
- Workplace layout
- Emergency procedures
- Manufacturer instructions
Avoid placing a blanket:
- Behind cooking equipment
- Inside inaccessible cupboards
- Behind stored goods
- Where machinery blocks access
- Where staff cannot easily identify it
Keep Fire Blankets Visible
Workers should be able to identify emergency equipment quickly.
Good workplace arrangements may include:
- Clearly visible blanket container
- Suitable fire-safety signage
- Unobstructed access
- Staff awareness
- Emergency-response instructions
Avoid moving emergency equipment without updating the workplace fire plan.

After use, the blanket may have been exposed to:

- Fire
- Smoke
- Contamination
- Physical damage
Follow the manufacturer’s replacement guidance.
Where there is doubt, replace the equipment rather than assuming it remains suitable.
