The Proper Equipment And First Aid Supplies For Responding To A Small Fire.

A fire is a scary thing: the sight of flames, the smell of smoke, and the sounds that accompany it all. Whether it was caused by children playing with matches or an electrical malfunction, a small fire can be a frightening event. If you are responsible for a space that may experience small fires from time to time (a warehouse storage area or factory, for instance), then having some basic knowledge of what to expect and how to properly deal with a small fire is essential.fire extinguisher servicing

Thermal Rescue Blankets - Silver


Thermal rescue blankets are the perfect addition to any first aid kit or survival kit. Unlike many first aid and survival kit contents, these products don't expire so they'll never go to waste.

They are useful to help prevent a person (or animal) from going into shock and for reducing heat loss caused by water evaporation, convection or thermal radiation.

These blankets are also called emergency blankets, space blankets, weather blankets, Mylar blankets and first aid blankets.

We consider these a MUST have item for all first aid kits - you just never know when you'll need them.


Orca Soft Pouch Fire Blankets


The Orca Soft Pouch Fire Blanket is a compact, portable and lightweight inflatable fire blanket that provides protection from the heat and flames of fires. It is suitable for use in most industries, including industrial workplaces or environments where there is a risk of fire. It can be easy to forget the importance of protecting yourself against the threat of fire, but the statistics show that more than 200 people die each year in workplace fires. The Orca Soft Pouch Fire Blanket was created by Colin Lenehan to help curb those figures.


Conclusion:


Fire is a danger to everyone, so it’s important to have the proper equipment and supplies on hand to be prepared.

Be sure to have proper equipment and first aid supplies on hand when responding to a small fire. Learning how to use a fire extinguisher, as well as calling the fire department in the event of an emergency are also important steps you can take.
