Fire blankets-water extinguishers, Science

Assignment Help:

Fire Blankets :  We have already discussed the use of fire blankets, but it is worth noting that fire blankets are now made of glass fibre instead of asbestos, and that they are usually installed in conjunction with another type of extinguisher. The important points when using a fire blanket are to ensure that the blanket is:

1) spread out as much as possible.

2) laid as flat as possible on the burning surface.

Remember the following in case of using fire blanket for extinguishing fire on someone's clothes:

You must hold the blanket with the tapes wide apart.

The bottom edge must trail on the ground.

You must hold the blanket so that it protects your fingers from the flames, e.g. in clenched fists so that it hangs over your knuckles and forearms.

You must wrap your arms around the casualty and pull him to the ground to avoid flames reaching the face and hair.
