About Blankets and Accessories

Safety blankets are one of the three pillars of fire safety! Although they are generally called “duvetyne,” duvetyne is not the only material they can be made of. We have thoroughly tested our safety blankets to ensure they are safe to use on fire props. That being said, all blankets wear down over time and need to be replaced. Be sure not to spill fuel on them, as this creates a hazardous condition.

Avoid putting out freshly dipped fire props on the blanket because it will reduce the blanket’s lifespan. This is because freshly dipped props have a lot of fuel on them compared to fire props at the end of their burn. The fuel can accidentally be lit the next time you use the blanket, and fuel also causes the materials to wear out more quickly. Other accessories include wick covers, prop straps and bags, flow grease, and earplugs.
