Fire blankets are made of fire-retardant material and are used to extinguish small fires. The blanket, when deposited over a fire, suffocates the flames by preventing oxygen from feeding them. a fire blanket can withstand against the temperature 900-950 degrees Celcius.
- Pull the blanket out of the container.
- Make sure that the fire is smaller than the blanket.
- Hold the blanket in front of you by the top corner, while keeping your hands concealed behind the blanket's corners.
- Smother the fire by placing the blanket over the fire.NOTE: make sure the blanket is covering the entire fire.
- Do not remove the blanket for 30 minutes. Ensure that the heat source is eliminated (e.g. that the stovetop is turned off.)

Why everyone should have a fire blanket in their kitchen?
Because Normal (Home used or common) oil pan fires are not easy to deal with using traditional or commonly used fire extinguishers. A fire extinguisher contains high pressure; the force of the extinguisher can spray hot flaming oil from the pan and cause burns of the body of the user or can cause secondary fires. Alternatively, a wrong fire extinguisher can be used by the user.
CAUTION: If the fire is not extinguished, do not attempt to retrieve the blanket.
