Fire suppression blanket

摘要

A blanket for fighting grass and scrub fires along a fire line includes a sheet of fire resistant material forming a lattice with multiple openings. The openings vary in size from larger openings along the sheet's front edge to smaller openings at the sheet's back edge. The lattice is preferably formed of woven fire resistant fiberglass strips coated in vermiculite. The sheet is preferably rectangular, flexible for rolling, and multiple sheets may be lined up along the fire line. To preserve the shape of the sheet, connectors may secure the woven strips together at points where the woven strips overlap. The sheet can be placed atop or near grass or scrub at risk of burning, arranged with the front edge toward the fire and the back edge away from the fire. Once the burning risk passes, the sheet or sheets may be removed and rolled up for storage or transport.
