Fire safety equipment

A fire in the kitchen, workshop or garage can start unexpectedly, which is why it is a good idea to keep protective gear close at hand. Fire safety equipment includes fibreglass fire blankets, welding blankets and non-flammable mats, smoke alarms, as well as holders that secure the fire extinguisher in the car boot.

Fire safety equipment

The basis of home equipment is a fire blanket. Fibreglass blankets are non-flammable and withstand high temperatures, so they help smother a small fire, such as burning oil in a pan, which must never be doused with water. Once the pan is covered, switch off the hob and leave the blanket in place until the pan has cooled down. Separate heat-resistant fibreglass mats are designed for soldering or working with an open flame.

Welding blankets and non-flammable mats are suitable for the workshop and garage. They protect the floor, workbench and surrounding objects from sparks, metal spatter and heat during welding, grinding or cutting. Thicker material offers better protection and lasts longer.

Smoke alarms mounted on the ceiling, ideally in the hallway and bedrooms, provide early warning. They should be tested regularly and the batteries replaced in good time.

Fire safety equipment is complemented by holders and nets for the car boot, which secure the extinguisher so that it does not move while driving and is quickly at hand when needed. With fire extinguishers, it is worth keeping an eye on the pressure gauge and the inspection date.
