Most campfire accidents happen because sparks land where they shouldn't. A fireproof blanket gives you a way to smother flames fast without panicking or wasting time looking for dirt.
Fiberglass blankets work for suppressing kitchen fires or gear fires. Wool blankets with fire-retardant treatment serve double duty as warmth and safety. Size matters because a blanket that's too small won't cover the fire completely.
