Prevent flames with the right measures and smother them in the bud

Quickly accessible in an emergency: a cozy cuddle blanket that is also suitable for extinguishing fires.

Safety is usually taken very seriously in Germany. But a danger that is often underestimated is fire. Fires occur here every two to three minutes in an apartment or house. According to the IFS Fire Cause Statistics 2023, the most common cause is electricity, followed by human error such as a forgotten pan on the stove or an unattended Advent wreath. Quick reaction can then not only prevent property damage but also save lives.

Only 120 seconds to react
To prevent a small ember from becoming a dangerous fire, there are only about 120 seconds to act in an emergency. Because after just two to four minutes, toxic smoke gases form, from which only escape can save you. With the help of a fire blanket, many tricky situations can be quickly brought under control. All the more practical if it is already the favorite blanket and is ready at hand on the sofa, in the bunk, or at the campfire – like the cuddle and fire protection blanket "Cosy Fox" from Ask The Fox. The textile, made in Germany, becomes a safety feature through the modern high-tech fiber PyroTex. This reliably smothers flames without dripping, melting, or producing toxic gases, and can protect people wrapped in it as a fireproof shield. When there is no danger, it provides cozy comfort as a soft and warming companion.

Prudent behavior prevents fires
In addition to a fire blanket, every home as well as camping and the like should also have a fire extinguisher ready. Also: smoke detectors save lives because they detect unnoticed fires in time. To prevent these from occurring in the first place, prevention and careful behavior are important – many tips can also be found at ask-the-fox.com
