How to Stop a BBQ Fire Safely (EU) — Fire Blanket Guide
How to stop a BBQ fire safely
BBQ fires often flare up when fat drips onto heat or flames — and wind can make the situation worse in seconds. A fire blanket is a clean and effective first response to smother flames without spraying powder into food or spreading burning fat.
Common BBQ fire situations
- Fat flare-ups under the grill
- Grease tray or drip pan fires
- Fire spreading to nearby objects (paper, packaging, furniture)
- Wind-driven flames around outdoor kitchens
Wat je niet moet doen
- Do not throw water on fat or grease fires
- Do not carry a burning grill through the garden
- Do not use loose towels (they can ignite)
Where to keep your fire blanket outdoors
- Near the BBQ area, easy to grab within 1–2 seconds
- Protected from rain and dirt
- Not directly above the heat source
