The Water Jel® Fire Blanket Plus in Canister is a patented one-step emergency burn care system trusted by firefighters, EMS, and industrial safety programs worldwide. The 5'×6' worsted wool blanket is soaked in a water-based, biodegradable, bacteriostatic gel capable of absorbing up to 12 times its own weight — extinguishing flames, stopping burn progression, cooling the patient, and providing transport coverage in a single application. Stored in a wall-mountable canister. SKU: 7260-04-Z.

Product Overview
Water Jel® has been the global standard in emergency fire blanket technology for decades, trusted by professional fire departments, EMS agencies, industrial safety programs, and military organizations worldwide. The Fire Blanket Plus in Canister represents the premier deployment configuration: a full-patient-coverage 5'×6' blanket, pre-loaded with Water Jel's patented cooling gel, stored in a wall-mountable canister ready for instant deployment in a facility, vehicle, or apparatus bay.
What distinguishes Water Jel® from conventional fire extinguishing approaches is its one-step, victim-centered design. The blanket can simultaneously extinguish flames on a burning victim, stop burn progression by removing heat from the wound, ease pain through sustained cooling, and protect the patient from airborne contamination — all in a single application. The patented intercellular weave wool carrier is capable of absorbing up to 12–13 times its own weight in gel, ensuring the cooling medium remains in contact with the patient throughout transport.
The gel formula is water-based, water-soluble, bacteriostatic (inhibits bacterial growth), and biodegradable. This means it is safe for patient contact, non-toxic, and environmentally responsible — important for industrial and civilian settings where gel residue may reach drainage systems. The canister format with integrated handle allows rapid one-handed retrieval and deployment, while wall-mountability positions the blanket precisely where it is most likely to be needed: at a workstation, near a furnace, or mounted in an emergency vehicle bay.
Four Functions in One Application
| Function | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Extinguish Flames | Gel-soaked wool smothers flames on victim's clothing and body, eliminating the fire source |
| Stop Burn Progression | Rapid heat absorption from the wound surface halts ongoing thermal injury to deeper tissue layers |
| Cool & Ease Pain | Sustained gel cooling provides immediate and ongoing pain relief, reducing patient shock response |
| Protect from Contamination | Bacteriostatic gel and full-body blanket coverage shields the patient from airborne bacteria during transport |
Deployment Scenarios
- Fire apparatus and EMS vehicle burn response
- Industrial facility burn stations (refinery, chemical plant, manufacturing)
- Hospital emergency department burn staging
- Military forward position emergency burn care
- Small-fire suppression before a victim can be moved
- Rescuer heat and flame shielding during patient extraction
Purchasing Options
Available as an individual canister unit, as a box of 4 canisters for fleet or facility restocking, or as a 4-pack refill without canister (SKU: G7260O-4) for facilities with existing Water Jel wall-mounted canisters. The refill option significantly reduces restocking costs for high-turnover environments.
Pair with individual burn dressings from the MED-TAC emergency burn care collection to complete a full burn care station. For full trauma capability, explore the massive hemorrhage control collection and IFAK kits.
