Fire blankets are made of highly fire-resistant materials. Usually they are found in areas where there is a splash hazard of flammable liquid. Their most anticipated use would be to throw around a person whose clothes have caught fire, to smother the fire. Other possible uses would be to smother a small free-standing fire, or to wrap someone protectively who needs to pass through an inflamed area to get to safety.
