Fire Blanket - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to clearly indicate the location of a fire blanket, making it easy to find and access in the event of a small fire. Fire blankets are typically used to smother flames caused by cooking oils, clothing fires, or small equipment fires. The sign helps ensure that people can quickly locate this vital piece of safety equipment when time is critical.

Using this sign is essential for promoting a safe environment and complying with fire safety regulations. It supports emergency preparedness by reducing response time and increasing the chances of safely extinguishing a fire before it spreads. The clear and recognisable symbol helps everyone, including visitors and new staff, identify the fire blanket without confusion.

A Fire Blanket should be placed in kitchens, laboratories, workshops, food preparation areas, and commercial cooking spaces—anywhere there's a higher risk of fires breaking out. It's especially important in settings where flammable liquids or high heat sources are present.

To be effective, the sign must be mounted directly above or next to the fire blanket, at eye level or in a highly visible location. This ensures quick identification and access, helping to protect people and property in emergency situations.
