- Fire & Rescue NSW recommends that everyone have a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket in their kitchen and know how to use them.

I started a fire on accident last year,I forgot on the stove a frying pan with oil in it. It caught fire. I entered the house with flames to the ceiling (I have a very low ceiling here) and I panicked. I turned off the gas immediately. I knew not to throw water on it but I didn't know what else to do. My boyfriend arrived in time and took a normal towel and threw it on the fire. It stopped immediately. But after a minute or so he took it off. With a bellowing woosh it caught fire again!! It almost burned my boyfriend's face! I had to leave it to cool down. Thank you for the tutorial. These things should be taught in school
Thank God you guys are ok! And for real... it's a dam shame what these schools teach instead of what they should be teaching 😒
@@_A_G_1ironic I'm studying and I saw this comment
This wasn't taught to me in school in the U.S. Thank goodness the Australians had our backs on this one.
What about parents teaching their children.
Just put a lid on it.
Never thought of this. I do have fire extinguishers around the house and garage.
Extinguishers have expiry dates, so I like the blanket. Also you are trapped in a big fire, you can wrap the blanket around you as you exit.
tutorial is very informative. Thanks
if a fire is containable use a fire blanket, if it's too large use an extinguisher.
And the firemen come for your neighbors. Not for you.
A pot lid or box of baking soda may work for a small enough kitchen fire.
This is for Alexandra and Bill. A life saver.
saw one of these in one of the resident evil movies lol character used the blanket to protect herself from an explosion. I wonder how useful a fire blanket would be in that situation in real life lol;
these fire blankets can withstand extreme temperatures for around 10 minutes so I guess it would protect her from burns and due to materials would absorb a very small amount of the force
wondeful tutorial
Excellent. In the USA fire blankets seem to be an uncommon recommendation. I want one! I'm going to ask the local fire department what they think about blankets.
Mr Domnic,
Good Educative Video. HARI CHANDANI
Thanks I'm pretty sure I'll forget all that at the moment flames beginning to reach the ceiling
just got 3 of those just in case. Didnt even know this existed
Very nice and simple. Is it copyrighted or can we download and use it?
how much ?
What brand do you recommend?
Nike
Use the fire blanket if you can't place the lid on the burning pot.
indeed that would be the first choice .
We were taught in school to just put a lid on a burning pot to extiguish it.
That's pretty shit advice if the fire is pretty well established - you're going to have to put your arm over the flames.
@deezelfairy It actually works. And no, you don't put your arms over it, you quickly slide the lid over the top and it smothers the flames. Better than burning your house down.
@@U2BER2012 Of course it works, your smothering the fire, but a fire blanket does keep your appendages further away
@deezelfairy By all means, if you have one handy, use it. The pan cover method would be good for those who don't have a fire blanket.
Wow
So in most cases we are told to run from fire but there is a limit when you should stop running and fight the fire... what sector of people is targeting this line ? and why only some?::)
hi i have a question how about if whole house burn and we trapped inside?
can we use the fire blanket for wrap ourself to avoid the fire to exit through the door? can or not?
Even if a person is protected from flames the smoke inhalation will kill you. The product can help some but
it's best to try to get out.
another way to avoid smoke is just crawling low down, the smoke will be mostly higher up so you should be able to have some clearance down low
@@nichellewalton2926 but yeah getting out is priority
just use a lid it cheap and comes with the pot or pan
fire blanket my love
Teenie tiny fire…. All intimidating and serious..
Fire blanket guy is sus
I like you rob mcneil
You don't really need to wait for 30mins,actually you just need to wait for 3mins to cool down.
Everyone at the start of the video: Puts lid on the pot and turns off the stove.
Nobody: Reaches for the expensive fire blanket...
Edit: Not necessarily saying that's the right thing to do because if whatever in that pot explodes firey hell all over the place I want a fireproof blanket between it and me but... 99% of the time I doubt I'd even think of the fire blanket in this circumstance.
best and quickest thing turn off gas or power and put the lid in. then put the fire blanket on. 9 times out of 10 the lid will have done the job.
How to Use a Fire Blanket？
schoolwork
If it's not UL tested then it doesn't work.
That's false. These fire blankets have been in use in Asia, Europe and Australia for decades. None of them are UL-listed. Are you saying that they don't work?
How ignorant, just put the lid on the pot.
