Blankets made of a fire-resistant fiber (e.g., fiberglass, treated wool). These blankets usually include hand belts, and they are big enough to completely wrap a person. Some of them are stored in a wall-mounted cabinet to facilitate their use. Fire blankets are used to extinguish a fire burning on a person and for protection during escape from fire; they could also be used to rescue nonambulatory patients during fire emergency evacuation.
