A fire blanket for wildfires is an essential tool in fire protection. In forest environments, it can make the difference between life and death. ISK Fire Survival, a leader in self-protection systems, develops certified solutions that ensure safety even under the most extreme conditions.
What is a fire blanket for wildfires?
A fire blanket for wildfires is a textile element designed to withstand high temperatures. Its main function is to isolate radiant heat and prevent direct contact with flames.
Manufactured with multilayer fabrics and high-tech materials, ISK fire blankets provide comprehensive protection against radiant and convective heat.
Fire blanket for wildfires: real protection in extreme situations
During a wildfire, temperatures can exceed 1,000 °C. Firefighters need immediate and effective shelter.
ISK fire blankets are made with fabrics certified under UNE EN ISO 11612 and EN 469/A1 standards, ensuring resistance to radiant heat and direct flame exposure.
Each model, such as FS4 and FS4.1, offers different configurations adapted to light and heavy vehicles. These blankets protect the sides, tires, and cab of the vehicle, creating a thermal barrier that increases survival chances.
Key benefits of ISK fire blankets
ISK Fire Survival fire blankets offer a unique combination of lightness, efficiency, and quick deployment.
Their main advantages include:
- Certified thermal resistance up to 1600 °C.
- Four layers of flame-retardant fabric with Kevlar edging.
- Installation using magnetic anchors or flame-retardant Velcro.
- Easy transport with an abrasion-resistant carrying bag.
These features make them an essential complement to the Integral Safety Kit, especially when combined with the FS1 nozzle or FS2 collective shelter.
How to use a fire blanket during a wildfire
In a trapping scenario, quick action is vital.
The crew deploys the blanket to cover the area exposed to fire. This action reduces heat transfer and protects the vehicle’s critical components.
Thanks to its versatile fastening system, the blanket can be installed even on uneven ground or in low-visibility conditions.
ISK and its commitment to wildfire safety
ISK Fire Survival doesn’t just manufacture equipment; it creates solutions that save lives.
Its commitment to innovation and safety is reflected in continuous material research and collaboration with organizations accredited by ENAC.
Each product—from the FS4.1 flame-retardant skirt to the FS5 cabin curtain kit—is designed with one purpose: to maximize survival in high-intensity fire situations.
