The best Fire blankets, compared.
Top pick: MODAGE, 1 m, single Best value: King Karan, 1 m soft case – About £5.29, a stated soft case, and 4.7 from 2,009 reviews. The citation is withdrawn EN 1869:1997. Updated October 2026.
A fire blanket is a woven glass-fibre sheet in a pouch or hard case. You pull it over a small fire to smother it, or around someone whose clothes are alight. Says keep one in the kitchen if you buy one, and also says not to tackle a pan fire, never to use water, and to get out and call 999. Judge a listing by the printed size, the edition of BS EN 1869, whether it says single use, and whether you can hang it in the cooking room without reaching over the hob. The [fire blanket buying guide](/hub/fire-protection/fire-blanket/sub/fire-blanket-buying-guide) sets out size, edition, case, and where to hang it. Hampshire, and still describe a blanket on a chip pan and say not to use an extinguisher, because the jet can spread burning oil.

Question 1 of 2
How many rooms need a blanket?
MODAGE model MOD-005 is a single 1 m × 1 m woven fibreglass blanket at £8.99, with 5.0 from 4 reviews. The bullets say it is single use and must be discarded after every deployment, which matches the current standard’s not-reusable scope even though this listing cites no edition of EN 1869. The housing is described for a kitchen wall, a cabinet door, or a vehicle, with a pull-tab release, and the cloth is called tightly woven and fully coated at 520 g. The manufacturer line says Complizon, and the page first appeared on 8 June 2026, so those four comments sit on a new listing. Product dimensions print 100 × 100 × 4 cm, which reads as packed depth rather than a second blanket size. Four five-star reviews are not a fire test, and there is no 2019 line to take to a boat check.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 1 m listing that tells you to throw the sheet away after use, and you do not need a printed edition.
Less suitable: A boat or a buyer who must see BS EN 1869:2019 on the page.
Specifications
Common questions
Can this MODAGE blanket be used more than once?
The bullets say it is single use and must be discarded and replaced after every deployment.
What is it made of?
The bullets say tightly woven fibreglass, described as fully coated. Item weight is 520 g.
How is it stored?
The bullets say the housing mounts on a kitchen wall, inside a cabinet door, or in a vehicle.
Yikuneng model YIK00004 is two 1 × 1 m fibreglass blankets in red PVC pouches at £14.99, with 5.0 from 2 reviews. The bullets say CE EN 1869:2019 and name Class F cooking-oil and grease fires and clothing fires. That is a printed 2019 citation, not a certificate this comparison has checked, and the CE wording is the seller’s. Each pouch has a metal eyelet and two black pull tapes. The same bullets say you can re-store the sheet if fire has not damaged it, which cuts against BSI’s scope for blankets that are not reusable. The heat line, up to 580°C for a short time, belongs only to this listing. At 960 g for the pair you get a second room’s pouch, still 1 m rather than the 1.2 m ELRO sheet, and two reviews are not evidence it has smothered a pan.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 2019 citation printed on a two-pack of 1 m sheets and you will still replace the blanket after any real fire.
Less suitable: A clothing wrap, a 1.2 m pan, or a buyer who will follow the re-store sentence.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing say the blanket is reusable?
The bullets say it can be re-stored and reused if fire has not damaged it. That is the seller’s sentence.
How do you mount it?
Each blanket is in a red water-resistant PVC pouch with a metal eyelet for a wall or a hook.
What standard is cited?
The bullets say CE EN 1869:2019 and name Class F cooking-oil and grease fires and clothing fires.
The ELRO FB1212H is the only blanket in this set stated as 1.2 m × 1.2 m, one of the small-pan sizes the Fire Industry Association names, and amazon.co.uk lists it at £15.99 with 5.0 from 1 review. The title says the fibre-glass sheet complies with EN 1869 and sits in a hard case, without printing 2019 on the UK listing. A folding sheet hosted for this model prints EN1869:2019, so the year is on that sheet and not in the bullets you see first. ELRO’s Dutch range page says a fire blanket is not for burning fat or oil, which sits against UK bullets that describe smothering cooking or electrical fires. The bullets do not give use steps, do not say single use, and do not state a release. One review is not a fire test. It is the top pick in this set when you want that larger stated sheet and a hard case, and a weak match if you need a clothing size or a Kitemark on the page.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the 1.2 m hard-case listing in this set and you will read the folding sheet before you treat 2019 as printed on the bullets.
Less suitable: A clothing fire, a Kitemark shopper, or a chip-pan plan that ignores the maker’s oil warning.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the ELRO listing described as safe for grease fires?
The bullets say it smothers fires caused by cooking or electrical issues and that it complies with EN 1869. They do not print a separate grease-fire test result.
How do the bullets say to use it?
They do not give steps. They say the hard case is for storage and quick access.
How does it compare with an extinguisher?
A question on the page asks for that comparison. The bullets do not answer it.
ougist MSWJ620 is two 1.0 m × 1.0 m fibreglass blankets in soft cases at £17.49, with 4.9 from 45 reviews. The bullets cite EN 1869 without a year, say up to 550°C, and say the blankets never expire and need no pressure checks. Care says do not wash. A question on the page asks if they are reusable; the bullets do not say single use, and one review calls them reusable, which is not BSI’s not-reusable scope. Black tapes and a hanging loop are the release, the colour field says white, and the pair weighs 1.03 kg. The bullets name home, kitchen, garage, car, BBQ, and camping, and they do not say caravan. Forty-five reviews is a clearer sample than the two-review 2019 pouch, and it is still not a fire test, at a higher price than the ELRO 1.2 m case.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want two 1 m soft cases with a mid-size review file and you will not read “never expire” as a certificate.
Less suitable: A 1.2 m pan, a caravan named on the listing, or a buyer who needs the year 2019 in the bullets.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the ougist blanket described as reusable?
The page asks if it is reusable. The bullets do not say single use. They say the blankets never expire and need no pressure checks. One review calls them reusable. Care says do not wash.
What temperature does the listing state?
The bullets and the fabric field say up to 550°C. That figure is only for this listing.
Can it be used in a caravan?
A question asks that. The bullets name home, kitchen, garage, car, BBQ, and camping, and do not say caravan.
King Karan’s KK/FB/093XX is a 1 m × 1 m woven glass-fibre blanket in a red soft case, listed at £5.29 with 4.7 from 2,009 reviews, the largest review file in this set. The bullets say it meets EN 1869:1997, the withdrawn edition, and they name a caravan as well as a kitchen, garage, office, and restaurant. Release is described as flameproof handles with quick unfolding, the case is for wall mounting, and the stated weight is 480 g. The brand line says KARAN KING while the title says KING KARAN, and the listing also carries audio and lobster-clasp lines that are not blanket specs. A 30-day warranty is short for something you hope not to use. One UK review describes covering an oven fire, which is one household’s account rather than a rated use. It is the best value pick when you want a cheap soft case with that large amazon.co.uk sample and you accept a 1997 citation.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest stated soft case in this set, with the largest review file, and you know 1997 is withdrawn.
Less suitable: A boat check that needs a current BS EN 1869 mark, or a clothing-size sheet.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the King Karan listing mention a caravan?
Yes. The title and the use bullets name a caravan as well as kitchen, home, garage, office, and restaurant.
What standard is printed?
The bullets say the blanket meets EN 1869:1997 for cooking-fire suppression. There is no 2019 line on the listing.
How many blankets are in the box?
Number of items is 1. Item weight is 480 g.
This two-pack, model 202-1, is two glass-fibre blankets stated as 39.3 × 39.3 inches, about a metre each, at £12.10 with 4.7 from 1,644 reviews, and the listing ranks it number 3 in Fire Blankets. No standard identifier is printed. The material line says 100% glass fibre cloth with flame-retardant cotton tapes, so the handles you pull are cotton rather than the flameproof handles named on the King Karan listing. Item weight is 953 g for the pair, and the package is 29.9 × 17.1 × 5.5 cm. The bullets claim liquid and grease fires and use as a heat shield, and they do not say whether the sheet is single use. Reviews are what place the blankets in pouches with a hanging hole; the specification does not. A second pouch covers a second room. It does not add a 2019 citation.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want two roughly 1 m pouches for two rooms and you will not shop by the edition.
Less suitable: A kitchen where the printed standard matters more than the pack count.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this two-pack reusable?
The page asks whether it is reusable. The bullets do not answer. They say it smothers liquid and grease fires and can be used as a heat shield.
What size is printed?
The title says 39.3 × 39.3 inches. Package dimensions are 29.9 × 17.1 × 5.5 cm and item weight is 953 g.
Does the listing cite a standard?
No standard identifier is in the bullets or the technical block.
The Accessories ASDRE8 is a 1 m × 1 m woven glass-fibre blanket in a wall-mounted soft case at £9.99, with 4.7 from 1,186 reviews, and the listing ranks it number 2 in Fire Blankets. The bullets cite EN 1869:1997 and say the sheet is for chip, oil, and fat fires, with a warning that a standard extinguisher can spray burning oil. A use bullet tells you to cover the fire, turn the hob off, leave the blanket for at least 15 minutes, and call the fire service. That 15-minute figure is this listing, not a minute count the fire services share. Item weight is 760 g, heavier than the Ram and King Karan sheets, and the package is 31.6 × 19.7 × 5.9 cm. The bullets name caravans as well as homes. You still have a withdrawn edition, and the stars do not show that buyers have fought a pan fire.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 1 m soft case whose bullets talk about chip and oil fires, and you will not treat 15 minutes as a fire-service rule.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs a 2019 citation or the 1.2 m sheet.
Specifications
Common questions
What does the listing say about chip pans?
The bullets say fire blankets should be used on chip, oil, and fat fires, and that a standard extinguisher can spray burning oil.
How long does the listing say to leave the blanket in place?
The use bullet says leave it in place for at least 15 minutes and always call the fire service.
Is a caravan named?
Yes. The bullets include homes, caravans, garages, offices, and restaurants.
The Ram listing is a 1 m × 1 m fibreglass blanket at £4.95, with 4.7 from 883 amazon.co.uk reviews, and the listing ranks it number 1 in Fire Blankets. The bullets say the cloth meets EN 1869:1997 for cooking and firefighting, and they describe loops plus wall mounting, including use on a counter. Item weight is 510 g. A separate dimensions line prints 1 × 1 × 1 cm, which clashes with the metre size, so you should follow the 1 m line and ignore that centimetre field. The listing does not name a case, does not say single use, and does not print a 2019 citation. A question on the page asks about a caravan, while the bullets say kitchen, camping, home, and travel without saying caravan. At this review count the stars mostly record that a pouch arrived, not that it has put a pan out.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the lowest shelf price in this set for a stated 1 m sheet and you will treat the 1997 line as withdrawn.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs a 2019 citation, a named case, or a caravan mentioned on the listing.
Specifications
Common questions
What standard does the Ram listing cite?
The bullets say the fibreglass meets EN 1869:1997 for cooking and firefighting. The file does not show a 2019 citation.
What size does the listing state?
The bullets say 1 metre by 1 metre. A separate product-dimensions line says 1 × 1 × 1 cm, which is recorded as a catalogue line and not as the blanket size.
Does the listing say it can go in a caravan?
A question on the page asks about a caravan. The bullets name kitchen, camping, home, and travel, and do not say caravan.
G4GADGET lists a single fibreglass blanket at £7.99 with 4.7 from 153 reviews. The title says 1 m × 1 m and a bullet also says 40 × 40 inches, so the page gives you two size sentences for one sheet. No standard identifier appears in the bullets or the technical block. Pull-down tabs are named, and the storage line allows a wall or a drawer, which is the slower place if a pan is already alight. Item weight is 520 g, and the date first available is 5 October 2024. One UK review says a fire-service visitor called the blanket fake. That is a single comment, not a laboratory result, and it is enough to stop you reading the missing standard as a certificate. The page asks whether you can use it more than once, and the bullets do not answer.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already know you will not rely on this listing for a standard, and you only want to see why the size lines disagree.
Less suitable: Anyone choosing a kitchen blanket by the printed edition, or a buyer who hangs nothing in a drawer.
Specifications
Common questions
Which size does G4GADGET print?
The title says 1 m × 1 m. A bullet says 40 × 40 inches. Both lines are on the listing.
Does the listing cite a standard?
No standard identifier is printed in the bullets or the technical block.
Can it be used more than once?
The page asks that question. The bullets do not answer it.
Yikuneng YIK00005 is four fibreglass blankets at £24.99 in red PVC pouches, and the listing has no review line. The bullets cite CE EN 1869:2019, claim 430 g/m², and repeat a short-duration line of up to 580°C plus the re-store-if-undamaged sentence. They do not state the sheet size. Included components say 4 × fire blankets and the item weight is 1.92 kg, while the package dimensions, 29.5 × 17.5 × 5.5 cm, match the two-pack’s package line. A question asks about a deep-fat fryer; the bullets say Class F oil, grease, and clothing and do not name a fryer capacity. Four pouches do not repair a missing measurement. Skip this listing until a size is printed, even though 2019 is the edition you would rather see.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if the seller later prints a sheet size you can check against the cooker.
Less suitable: A kitchen buy at £24.99 while the size line is missing.
Specifications
Common questions
What size is each blanket in the 4 pack?
The listing does not state the sheet size. It states four blankets, 430 g/m², and a package of 29.5 × 17.5 × 5.5 cm weighing 1.92 kg.
Does the listing say you can reuse it?
The bullets say it can be re-stored and reused if fire has not damaged it.
Is it described as suitable for a deep fat fryer?
A question asks that. The bullets say it is for Class F cooking-oil and grease fires. They do not name a fryer capacity.
This second MODAGE line, also model MOD-005, is listed at £12.99 and the listing has no customer-review line. The title and the size line say a pack of 2, while included components say 1 × fire blanket, and the item weight stays 520 g, the same figure as the single. The bullets still say single use and a wall, cabinet-door, or vehicle mount, and they still cite no standard. The page first appeared on 5 July 2026. Until the pack count agrees with itself, you cannot tell whether £12.99 buys one sheet or two. The single MODAGE listing at £8.99 carries the same single-use sentence without this clash. Skip this listing while the title and the included line disagree.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Nobody, until the pack count on this listing matches itself.
Less suitable: Anyone about to pay £12.99 for a stated pair.
Specifications
Common questions
How many blankets does this MODAGE listing include?
The title and the size line say pack of 2. Included components say 1 × fire blanket. Both lines are on the listing.
Is it single use?
The bullets say to discard and replace it after every deployment.
Is there a review count?
The listing has no customer-review line and no review texts.
Eleven amazon.co.uk listings were scored from the shelf prices and star lines stored with this comparison. This is not a laboratory fire test and not a live re-check of the page. A size, an edition of EN 1869, a case, and a reuse sentence are the seller’s claim unless a stored UK review contradicts them. Most reviews in this set are from people who have not had a fire. The four weights below sum to 100.
Edition and size
40%Maximum 40. A 2019 citation scores 18, EN 1869 with no year scores 10, withdrawn EN 1869:1997 scores 4, and no standard scores 0. A stated 1.2 m × 1.2 m sheet adds 16, a clear 1 m × 1 m adds 8, and 39.3 inches only adds 6.
Case and reuse
15%Maximum 15, capped. A hard case scores 6 and a soft case or PVC pouch scores 4. Single use, discard after deployment, adds 6. A line that says you may re-store an undamaged sheet scores 0, because BSI’s scope for BS EN 1869:2019 is blankets that are not reusable.
Amazon evidence
25%Maximum 25. Stars are the amazon.co.uk rating divided by 5, times 10. Review volume scores up to 15, from one review to 1,500 or more. If the listing cites 1997 or cites no standard, this block is capped at 12.
Shelf value
20%Maximum 20 for the amazon.co.uk shelf price against the stated size, the case, and the review file. The best value award is the highest shelf-value part that is not the top pick: the £5.29 soft case. That is not a claim that EN 1869:1997 is the current edition.
Match the sheet to the job before you compare the star line. A 1 m kitchen pouch, a 1.2 m hard case, and a clothing-size sheet are different tools, and this set does not include the clothing size. Prices below are the amazon.co.uk shelves stored with these eleven listings, from about £4.95 to about £24.99. Stars are mostly from people who have not had a fire. They are not a fire test.
A fire blanket is a woven glass-fibre sheet in a pouch or hard case that you pull over a small fire to smother it, or around someone whose clothes are alight. GOV.UK says keep one in the kitchen if you buy one. The same guidance says not to tackle a pan fire, never to use water, and to get out and call 999. Hampshire, Cornwall, and West Sussex still describe a blanket on a chip pan and say not to use an extinguisher, because the jet can spread burning oil.
A fire blanket in this set is woven glass fibre in a pouch or hard case. A foil hypothermia blanket is a different product. One foil listing was removed from the comparison. Do not treat a survival sheet as a kitchen fire blanket.
BS EN 1869:2019 supersedes withdrawn BS EN 1869:1997. Ram, King Karan, and Accessories cite 1997. A bullet is the seller’s claim, not a certificate. G4GADGET states no standard, and one UK review says a fire-service visitor called it fake.
Hang it on the wall in the cooking room, visible, with the handholds about 1.5 m up. Do not put it over the hob or in a drawer. BSI’s scope is not reusable. After any real fire, replace the sheet. Do not follow a re-store line on a listing that has been on a fire.
Start with the job. The Fire Industry Association sizes for BS EN 1869 are 1.1 m × 1.1 m and 1.2 m × 1.2 m for small pans, and 1.8 m × 1.2 m for clothing. Almost every listing here is about 1 m × 1 m. The ELRO FB1212H is the only stated 1.2 m × 1.2 m sheet. The 39.3 × 39.3 inch two-pack is about a metre and cites no standard. G4GADGET prints both 1 m × 1 m and 40 × 40 inches. The Yikuneng four-pack cites 2019 and does not state a sheet size. None of these is the clothing size.
A soft pouch is the norm. King Karan, Accessories, and ougist state a soft case. Yikuneng uses a red PVC pouch with an eyelet. The hard case is the ELRO. Ram does not name a case. The 39.3 inch two-pack’s pouch and hanging hole come from reviews, not the spec block. A stated wall mount adds a small amount in the case block. Hanging it where you can see it matters more than the pouch colour. BSI’s scope for BS EN 1869:2019 is blankets that are not reusable. MODAGE says discard after deployment.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want one visible blanket by the hob, and the only stated 1.2 m × 1.2 m hard case in this set. The ELRO FB1212H is about £15.99. The UK title cites EN 1869 with no year, and there is one review. It is not a clothing-size sheet.
You want a stated 1 m soft case and you will read 1997 as withdrawn. King Karan is about £5.29, with 4.7 from 2,009 reviews, the largest sample here. The bullets also name a caravan. That is not a current BS EN 1869 mark.
You want two stated 1 m sheets and a printed EN 1869:2019 line. The Yikuneng two-pack is about £14.99, with 5.0 from 2 reviews. The bullets also say you may re-store an undamaged sheet. After any real fire, replace it.
The top pick is the ELRO FB1212H, score 61, at about £15.99. It is the only stated 1.2 m × 1.2 m hard case in this set. The UK title cites EN 1869 without a year, and the listing has 5.0 from one review. The best value is the King Karan 1 m soft case, score 51, at about £5.29, with 4.7 from 2,009 reviews. That award is the shelf-price part. The edition it cites is EN 1869:1997, which is withdrawn, so the review block is capped. Neither result is a laboratory fire test.
King Karan, 1 m soft case
About £5.29, a stated soft case, and 4.7 from 2,009 reviews. The citation is withdrawn EN 1869:1997.
