Katie’s Cottage recently purchased 2 fire blankets. These fire blankets located in the kitchen for easy access.

A fire blanket is a safety device designed to extinguish incipient (starting) fires. It consists of a sheet of a fire retardant material that is placed over a fire in order to smother it. Small fire blankets, such as for use in kitchens and around the home are usually made of glass fiber and sometimes Kevlar, and are folded into a quick-release contraption for ease of storage.

Staff has been trained on how to use the fire blankets.
