Cook Safely With This Shopper-Loved Fire Blanket

It may seem obvious, but fires can be destructive and life-threatening, and they can become a big problem before you know it. Think for a second: What would you do if you were grilling burgers in the backyard or searing a tasty steak on the stove and a fire got out of control? Extinguishing a grease fire by throwing water on it is the worst thing you can do — it can make the flames spread in the blink of an eye. 

To grill or cook with peace of mind this summer, keep an emergency fire blanket within arm’s reach to extinguish any fires quickly and effectively. Grab the Prepared Hero emergency blanket today and you’ll never have to wonder how you’d respond to a fire, should you need to deal with one.

Prepared Hero Emergency Fire Blanket

Spending just $26 — or $40 for two — on this reusable blanket is nothing compared to the cost of a potential fire. The 40- x 40-inch square blanket is meant to be thrown directly onto a fire, effectively smothering it. At 1 pound, it’s light but complex, as it comprises two layers of woven fiberglass fabric; between them is a layer of fire-retardant film. It can safely combat temperatures up to 1,076°F, meaning it can be used for out-of-control backyard grills and stovetop fires or to shield yourself from flames as you exit your home. Hopefully, you won’t suffer two fires, let alone one, but it is reusable in case you need it multiple times. 

More than 21,600 Amazon shoppers have given this fire blanket a five-star rating, saying you “need” one near your grill. One shopper actually tested the blanket to make sure it worked, and was clearly impressed: “These fire safety blankets are the best invention I have ever seen,” they reported after testing it on multiple outdoor fires. “I can tell you it does put out grease fires and any other fire.” They added that the blankets do not smell after use, are easy to clean, and can quickly be folded up and put back in the bag. Another shopper said their elderly father wanted to test it to ensure it worked, so he set a fire in his grill. “It was easy for him to pull from its cover and use,” they reported, adding that they were so impressed, they ordered it as a Christmas gift for others.

Another home cook picked up the Prepared Hero emergency blanket after a fire where they had to use a fire extinguisher, which “left about a millimeter of extinguisher dust on everything.” They decided to switch to a fire blanket, and following an unfortunate second fire, found that it was a far superior option. “No plumes of black smoke, no ashes, no layer of extinguisher dust,” they said. “It just put out the flames and my kitchen once again was saved.” 

Avert potential disaster by grabbing the Prepared Hero fire blanket. $26 now could save you from losing something priceless later.
