Just as there are many security products preventing intruders there are also beginning to be just as many fire safety products. 
There are also short courses you can take that teach you about different areas of fire safety from the products that stop fires to what you should do in the first place to prevent fires from starting. Taking these courses is becoming increasing popular not only with those protecting their business but also with people that want to learn how to protect their home against fire. As well as all the products available for preventing or stopping fires there are also simple steps you can follow in your everyday life to prevent a fire from breaking out, here are some examples of what to do and also products you can buy to prevent or stop fires from spreading;
- Fire blankets – These come in different sizes and also different thicknesses effecting how effective they are when placed over a fire. These are mainly found in industrial places such as working kitchens, schools and office canteens. However, products such as this are becoming more sought after for home kitchens because of how effective they are and are also mandatory in places such as multi tenancy dwellings where the land lord will be required by law to provide these blankets in high risk areas.
- Fire extinguishers – 
These are found mainly in industrial settings rather than the home (unless like above is multi tenancy building where the land lord would be responsible for them being in place) and you can buy them with various contents. They are available with foam, carbon dioxide or water, they are all effective but each one is more suitable for a different kind of fire for example you couldn’t use a water fire extinguisher on an electrical fire as that would be dangerous.
- Prevention – There are over 80 % of fires in homes in the UK started by accident and most can be prevented by following simple procedures whilst carrying out tasks such as cooking with a chip pan, lighting candles or working with electrical equipment. There are simple steps such as when lighting candles;
o When lighting any candle in your home make sure that the surface that you place them on is a flat, stable surface.
o Make sure you place them well out of the way of curtains, draughts or any other materials that could easily catch fire.
o Make sure you keep the candle out of the way of children and never leave unattended.
