ABSTRACT:
A multi-layered fire extinguishing blanket including a fire-proof blanket of fire-resistant, fabric layer having a peripherally attached, non-porous, laminated almuinum layer on one side, creating insulating air pockets between the two, and two handles on the fabric backside of the blanket for manually grasping the blanket prior to placing it over a fire aluminum side down. The handles are mounted at positions spaced substantially below the top edge of the blanket, so that a portion of the blanket between the handles and the top edges, which is of a material having little if any rigidity, is allowed to drape back over, covering and protecting the hands, the handles also providing greater control of the blanket for more effective operation. A number of peripherally located, spaced magnets keep the fireproof blanket secured over the fire in a metallic environment and give sufficient, strategically located, peripherally spaced weight to the blanket, providing for a good throw and inherent opening characteristic to the blanket, when thrown over the fire. The aluminum layer serves as a heat sink and barrier to oil and grease, and as a water entrapping barrier when the fabric side is saturated with water in using the blanket in reverse fashion on a super hot fire. A set of supplemental handle straps is located at the top of the blanket stored in slots for pull-up/out and over use, when the blanket is to be positioned in reversed fashion (fabric side down) over the fire.
