  • Publication number: 20210038931
    Abstract: This disclosure herein may relate to various embodiments of a personal fire protection enclosure. The personal fire protection enclosure may comprise a fire suppression blanket made of fire-resistant material. The fire suppression blanket may have a lattice that may define a multiplicity of openings. An upper portion may further have one long side, two short sides, an angled side, and similarly be made of fire-resistant material. Further disclosed may be a lower portion having two long sides and two short sides and made likewise be made of fire-resistant material. The lower portion may further have a fold flap. A coupling strip may optionally be used and may be adapted to connect the fire suppression blanket to the ground portion if so used.

  • Publication number: 20210038932
    Abstract: This disclosure herein may relate to various embodiments of a fire protection enclosure which may utilize a fire suppression blanket made of fire-resistant material. The fire suppression blanket may have a lattice. The fire protection enclosure may further have a frame which may have a first hinge, a second hinge, a first ground frame arm, a first support arm, a second support arm, a second ground frame arm, a first leg, and a second leg and may optionally include an intermediate support arm. There may be any number of intermediate support arm present, dependent on the specific environment of use. Additionally disclosed may be a draw member connected to the first ground frame arm. Additionally disclosed may be a plurality of fire panels made of fire-resistant material and connected together to form a fire cover therein, the fire cover may be reversibly attached to the frame.

  • Patent number: 9731154
    Abstract: A blanket for fighting grass and scrub fires along a fire line includes a sheet of fire resistant material forming a lattice with multiple openings. The openings vary in size from larger openings along the sheet's front edge to smaller openings at the sheet's back edge, and vary in size across the lattice to form parabolic-shaped burn zones that separate a fire burning into the blanket, dissipating its energy. The blanket is a rectangular sheet of woven fire resistant fiberglass strips coated in vermiculite and is flexible for rolling, with connectors securing the woven strips together at points of overlap. The sheet can be placed atop or near grass or scrub at risk of burning, arranged with the front edge toward the fire and the back edge away from the fire. Once the burning risk passes, the sheet or sheets may be removed and rolled up for storage or transport.

  • Patent number: 9486656
    Abstract: A blanket for fighting grass and scrub fires along a fire line includes a sheet of fire resistant material forming a lattice with multiple openings. The openings vary in size from larger openings along the sheet's front edge to smaller openings at the sheet's back edge. The lattice is preferably formed of woven fire resistant fiberglass strips coated in vermiculite. The sheet is preferably rectangular, flexible for rolling, and multiple sheets may be lined up along the fire line. To preserve the shape of the sheet, connectors may secure the woven strips together at points where the woven strips overlap. The sheet can be placed atop or near grass or scrub at risk of burning, arranged with the front edge toward the fire and the back edge away from the fire. Once the burning risk passes, the sheet or sheets may be removed and rolled up for storage or transport.
