green-foam

(Thinking out loud) It may be that if you use powder you will disappear in a giant cloud which may "worry" your passengers, some local authorities are now banning dry powder extinguishers for this reason and the fact of the "mess" they make. Also AFFF foam is very common for foam extinguishers.

As Tom says, some you can, some you can't. The problems arise from any trapped particles in the blanket, which you may not notice or if the blanket has a fire retardant on it. Safelincs fire blankest start at just over £7, no contest.

Although late in the debate, to anyone who asks this, I would say: Smoke detectors on an intruder alarm do not constitute a fire alarm, some householders then say they have a fire alarm when they only have the afore mentioned. Also most intruder alarms will pulse the external sounder (to indicate fire) and the internal speaker will often make a different tone, but where is the sounder? one is outside, probably not near a bedroom and the other is probably just outside of a cupboard, neither are a high pitch, which means they may not be heard instantly if activated, but a battery smoke detector (interlinked are even better, as is a genuine fire alarm) makes a noise where it is, giving a better warning. So I would say, tempting that it is, do not fit smoke detectors to intruder alarms. Fit either interlinked smoke detectors, or radio linked smoke detectors

Hi, I would agree with the fire officer. Fixed temperature heat detectors activate at around 90 degrees c. Some fire panels have a "fire delay" option perhaps yours has. The idea of it is that the panel indicates fire but the sounders are delayed for a short time so you can investigate the cause.
