The summer months invite you to move life outdoors – whether grilling on the terrace, a relaxing afternoon by the lake, or a multi-day camping trip in nature. For many, this means a break from everyday life, enjoying nature, and simple living outdoors. But especially when cooking and heating outdoors, whether at the campfire, with the grill, or the gas stove, there is an increased fire risk that should not be underestimated.
Fire hazards in outdoor life
Whether camping, sailing, or enjoying a cozy barbecue in the garden – it's not just the romantic atmosphere that entices. Sparks from the campfire, embers from charcoal grills, or gas appliances like grills and cooking devices in yachts and motorhomes can quickly lead to a fire. It becomes especially dangerous when flames spread due to wind or improper handling. But with the right safety precautions and clever fire protection, a safe summer outdoors can be enjoyed.
Protection from fire and cold – with the right equipment
Besides a fire extinguisher, which can provide valuable help in an emergency, a fire blanket is an excellent alternative to quickly smother small fires. Because what if the fire extinguisher is not at hand or even causes damage, as can happen with foam and powder? Here is the solution: a fire blanket that also serves as a practical and cozy companion for cooler evenings outdoors.
Such an all-round talent is the COSY FOX. This blanket made from the modern high-tech fiber PyroTex® is not only exceptionally soft, snug, and hypoallergenic but also fireproof. It reliably smothers flames and protects people from embers and heat without dripping, melting, or releasing harmful gases. As an additional function, it provides cozy warmth and comfort on cold evenings, making it the perfect accessory for any outdoor adventure.
Important safety precautions for a safe summer
To ensure summer is not accompanied by unpleasant surprises, some basic safety precautions must be observed. You can find a checklist with important tips on fire protection outdoors and outdoor safety here.
Some important notes:
- Gas heaters and electrical appliances in motorhomes, yachts, or boats should be regularly maintained.
- When cooking on an open flame, there must always be a safe surface, and flammable materials must not be nearby.
- Sparks from campfires or grills are especially dangerous in dry and windy weather – always pay attention to the wind direction and keep a sufficient distance from flammable materials.
- And last but not least: bans regarding open flames in certain areas must be observed for good reason.
With a fire blanket and a fire extinguisher within reach, you can enjoy the outdoor experience worry-free – without compromising on safety and comfort.
