Overview
Small fires kill people not because they are inherently uncontrollable, but because the first few seconds of response determine whether they stay small. A galley pan fire on a vessel, a waste bin ignition in a crew cabin, a small electrical arc in a confined workshop space — each of these is controllable in the first 10–15 seconds with the right tool immediately to hand. Without that tool, those same fires become room-filling events within 60–90 seconds that require extinguisher deployment, compartment evacuation, and emergency response resources that were never necessary.
The LALIZAS Fire Blanket 100×100 cm is a first-response smothering tool that addresses exactly that initial window. Stored in a wall-mounted red PVC case with pull-tab deployment, it is designed for instant retrieval and deployment by any person in the vicinity of a small fire — without training requirements, without discharge residue, and without the activation and direction complexity of a portable extinguisher. Pull, cover, smother. For the person in the galley when the pan ignites, that simplicity is the difference between a controlled incident and an emergency.
LALIZAS has manufactured marine safety and survival equipment since 1982 and is one of Europe’s largest producers of SOLAS life-saving appliances. The fire blanket carries the LALIZAS brand’s characteristic attention to practical marine deployment: wall-mount PVC case for fixed installation at galley stations and cabin locations, pull-tab release for one-motion deployment, and compact 100×100 cm dimensions suited to the smothering of pan fires and small surface ignitions that are the most common small-fire scenario in shipboard and industrial kitchen environments. The LALIZAS Fire Blanket is not a peripheral safety product — it is part of a comprehensive marine fire safety range from a manufacturer whose core business is building equipment that works in real maritime emergency conditions.
Key Features
100×100 cm Fire-Resistant Blanket — Adequate Smothering Coverage
The blanket measures 100×100 cm — a dimension that provides sufficient coverage to smother a standard domestic or galley cooking pan fire completely, which is the most common fire blanket deployment scenario in both maritime and industrial kitchen environments. A blanket that is too small to fully cover the fire source leaves gaps that allow oxygen ingress and fire continuation — the 100×100 cm dimension is the standard specification for cooking fire smothering blankets because it comfortably covers the largest standard pan or small appliance fire footprint. For galley installations where the primary fire risk is a cooking pan ignition, the blanket dimension directly determines whether the smothering action is effective at first application.
Wall-Mount Red PVC Case — Immediate Visual Identification and Fixed Deployment
The blanket is housed in a compact red PVC wall-mount case — visible in the product image — that provides immediate visual identification at its installation location and fixed, accessible storage. Red case colour ensures the fire blanket is identifiable at a glance in the galley or cabin environment, consistent with standard fire safety equipment colour coding. Wall-mount installation at the designated galley station or workstation means the blanket is always in the same location and immediately retrievable without searching drawers, lockers, or storage areas during a fire event. Fixed mounting also supports monthly inspection compliance — the case can be visually checked for integrity and presence without disturbing the stored blanket.
Pull-Tab Single-Motion Deployment
The blanket deploys from its PVC case via a pull-tab mechanism — a single pulling motion that releases the blanket from the case ready for immediate application. Single-motion deployment eliminates the cognitive and physical complexity of multi-step release mechanisms, which are difficult to execute correctly under the stress of a fire event. For personnel who have never deployed a fire blanket in a real emergency — which describes the majority of crew members and facility workers who will ever need to use one — a pull-and-apply mechanism is the highest-reliability deployment design because it requires no training recall, no sequential steps, and no equipment familiarity to operate correctly under pressure.
Fire-Resistant Woven Material — Smothering and Heat Barrier
Fire blankets are manufactured from woven glass fibre or similar fire-resistant material that does not ignite, melt, or degrade when placed over a fire source. When deployed over a pan or small surface fire, the blanket works by two mechanisms simultaneously: it cuts off the oxygen supply to the combustion zone, and it acts as a heat barrier between the fire source and the surrounding environment. The combination of oxygen starvation and heat isolation is effective for Class F cooking oil fires and Class A/B small surface fires — the primary fire types for which a fire blanket is the appropriate first response tool. Unlike a water extinguisher (ineffective and dangerous on cooking oil fires) or a CO2 extinguisher (high discharge noise and CO2 concentration in confined galley spaces), a fire blanket involves no discharge medium and leaves no post-incident residue.
No Discharge Residue — Galley and Food-Safe Application
Fire extinguisher discharge — whether powder, CO2, or foam — leaves residue that contaminates food preparation surfaces, cooking equipment, and galley workspaces, requiring thorough cleaning before the galley can return to service. A fire blanket produces no discharge residue: it smothers the fire without any propellant, chemical, or gaseous discharge. For galley fires on vessels and in industrial catering facilities, the absence of discharge contamination means the post-incident galley restoration is limited to removing and discarding the affected pan and blanket, cleaning the hob surface, and ventilating the space — rather than the full galley deep-clean and equipment inspection that follows an extinguisher discharge event.
Compact and Lightweight — Suitable for Confined Shipboard Spaces
The 100×100 cm blanket in its PVC wall-mount case has a compact footprint that suits installation in the confined galley and cabin spaces typical of commercial vessels. Shipboard galleys operate within strict space constraints — equipment that cannot be installed in the available wall space adjacent to the cooking station is equipment that will not be installed in the most useful location. The LALIZAS Fire Blanket’s compact case dimensions allow installation directly adjacent to the galley cooking station, at the point of highest fire risk and closest proximity to the likely deployment scenario, rather than at a remote bulkhead location that adds precious seconds to retrieval time.

Benefits
Stops galley pan fires before they require extinguisher deployment or compartment evacuation. The majority of shipboard galley fires that escalate to a significant incident do so because the initial pan fire was not smothered in the first 15–20 seconds. A fire blanket available at arm’s reach from the galley cooking station, deployed immediately at ignition, stops the fire at source before it transfers heat to surrounding surfaces, ignites overhead cabinetry, or triggers the vessel’s fire detection system. This is not a backup to an extinguisher — it is the correct first-response tool for cooking fires, and it works faster and more cleanly than any extinguisher in the first seconds of a galley fire event.
No training requirement for effective deployment. Pull-and-cover deployment requires no training, no certification, and no prior practice to execute correctly under stress. For vessels with rotating crew, seasonal workers, or catering staff without fire safety training backgrounds, a fire blanket in the galley is an accessible first-response tool for every person working in that space — not just those who have completed extinguisher training.
Post-incident galley restoration in minutes rather than hours. An extinguisher discharge in a galley — particularly a dry powder discharge — contaminates every surface, every piece of equipment, and every food preparation item in the space. Post-incident restoration requires full galley decommissioning, deep cleaning, and equipment inspection before the galley can return to service. A fire blanket incident leaves nothing but the used blanket and the affected pan — galley restoration is a 10-minute cleaning task, not a half-day deep-clean operation.
Also useful for person-on-fire response. A 100×100 cm fire blanket can be wrapped around a person whose clothing has ignited — providing an immediate smothering response for a person-on-fire incident that suppresses the flames while the person is moved to safety. This dual-use capability — pan fire smothering and personal fire wrapping — means the fire blanket serves two distinct fire emergency response functions from a single piece of equipment.
Supports SOLAS and maritime fire safety equipment compliance. Fire blankets are recognised fire safety equipment in maritime and industrial facility fire safety programmes. For vessels maintaining fire safety equipment inventories and inspection records as part of their ISM Code safety management system documentation, LALIZAS fire blankets from a recognised marine safety equipment manufacturer provide a documented product specification with the LALIZAS brand’s established marine regulatory compliance framework.
Who It’s For
The Ship’s Cook or Galley Manager on a Commercial Vessel
You work in a confined galley space where cooking oil fires and hob ignitions are an acknowledged daily risk. You’ve completed the vessel’s fire training drills and you know where the fire extinguisher is — but you also know that by the time you’ve retrieved and operated an extinguisher, a pan fire has already transferred heat to the overhead and the galley is filling with smoke. A fire blanket on the bulkhead directly next to the cooking station is your actual first-response tool for the most likely fire you’ll ever have to deal with. It’s there, it takes one motion to deploy, and it works.
The Ship Safety Officer Completing the Fire Safety Equipment Inventory
You’re conducting the annual fire safety equipment inspection across the vessel and completing the fire safety equipment inventory for the upcoming class survey. The galley fire blanket is a documented line item in your fire safety equipment plan — you need a replacement unit that matches the installed specification (100×100 cm, wall-mount PVC case) from a manufacturer with established marine safety credentials whose product documentation will be accepted by the surveyor without question. The LALIZAS Fire Blanket gives you that — same specification, same manufacturer, standard marine procurement reference.
The HSE Manager at an Offshore Catering or Industrial Kitchen Facility
Your facility’s kitchen serves 200–400 workers per shift from a high-throughput commercial kitchen. Fire blankets at each cooking station are part of your fire safety equipment plan and your insurer’s kitchen fire safety requirements. You need a product that any kitchen worker can deploy correctly without training recall in an emergency, that leaves no post-incident contamination of the kitchen environment, and that comes from a supplier with consistent availability and recognisable product documentation. LALIZAS fits all three requirements.
