The document provides instructions on how to properly use a fire blanket in two scenarios: for an object on fire and for a person on fire. For an object, one should remove the blanket from its package by the tabs, fully open it while protecting their hands, gently place it over the flames to cut off oxygen, then turn off any fuel source and leave covered until cool. For a person, remove the blanket, wrap it around the burning individual to smother the flames, and immediately seek medical help. Fire blankets can reach 550C and are useful alternatives to extinguishers for inexperienced users to smother small fires.
