How to Stop a Car, Camper or Boat Fire (EU) — Fire Blanket Guide
How to stop a car, camper or boat fire safely
Vehicle and boat fires often start in confined spaces with fuel, wiring or engine heat. A fire blanket is a clean and fast first response to smother flames before they spread.
Common mobile fire situations
- Engine compartment flare-ups
- Electrical wiring fires
- Fuel or gas leaks igniting
- Cooking equipment in campers and boats
Wat je niet moet doen
- Do not open the engine compartment fully (oxygen can intensify flames)
- Do not use water on fuel-related fires
- Do not drive or move a burning vehicle
Where to keep your fire blanket
- Within arm’s reach of the driver or main living area
- Not in locked compartments
- Easy to grab within 1–2 seconds
Recommended choice for mobile use
For engines, wiring and fuel-related fires, choose a fire blanket that gives maximum coverage.
