Alarming fact: 48% of all home fires start in the kitchen
Most fires start from simple oil-based cooking. A few tablespoons of oil at the wrong temperature and disaster can happen in the blink of an eye. These types of fires are more common than people think, yet they can happen to anyone.
In addition to having a fire extinguisher nearby, keeping a certified, Emergency Fire Blanket in your kitchen is one of the most important decisions you can make for you and your family. They are simple to use – Just pull the straps to release the fire blanket, cover it over the fire. The fire is instantly suffocated before it can get out of control.
Fire blankets can also be a lifesaver for yourself or a family member if someone were to catch on fire or needed to evacuate near flames. They are also worth considering if you have elderly or infirmed people in your home who may not be able to drop and roll to smother a fire.
