This fire blanket is made of a Nomex/Kevlar blend: a tough, soft fire/heat resistant fabric.  It is more effective than fire retardant-treated wool blankets and effectively takes the fuel away from the flame.  It has been designed to absorb liquids so there is no mess to clean up after use.  It won't melt, drip, burn or support combustion in the air.  This single use, affordable and lightweight blanket is used to smother and contain small fires or as a protective wrap in the event of an evacuation.
