Systems and methods for fire and smoke containment and extinguishing are described. Systems may include a fire and smoke containment and extinguishing apparatus including an open recess with one or more walls. The open recess may substantially prevent passage of fire, smoke and fumes. The apparatus may also include one or more seals for closing the open recess, and a fire extinguishing system. Methods for fire and smoke containment and extinguishment may include providing a fire and smoke containment and extinguishing system; inserting an item into the recess of the apparatus; closing the recess; and deploying the fire extinguishing system.

A blanket for fighting grass and scrub fires along a fire line includes a sheet of fire resistant material forming a lattice with multiple openings. The openings vary in size from larger openings along the sheet's front edge to smaller openings at the sheet's back edge, and vary in size across the lattice to form parabolic-shaped burn zones that separate a fire burning into the blanket, dissipating its energy. The blanket is a rectangular sheet of woven fire resistant fiberglass strips coated in vermiculite and is flexible for rolling, with connectors securing the woven strips together at points of overlap. The sheet can be placed atop or near grass or scrub at risk of burning, arranged with the front edge toward the fire and the back edge away from the fire. Once the burning risk passes, the sheet or sheets may be removed and rolled up for storage or transport.

The present invention relates to equipment for fire fighting and fire prevention. The invented fire equipment comprises a fire blanket, a fire extinguisher and a housing assembly for housing the fire blanket and the fire extinguisher. The housing assembly enables the fire blanket and the fire extinguisher to be easily and quickly accessible and removable.

The present invention relates to equipment for fire fighting and fire prevention. The invented fire equipment comprises a fire blanket, a fire extinguisher and a housing assembly for housing the fire blanket and the fire extinguisher. The housing assembly enables the fire blanket and the fire extinguisher to be easily and quickly accessible and removable.

A housing has a front panel, a rear panel, side panels, a bottom panel, and an open top. A major chamber is within the housing. An envelope formed with a minor chamber is attached to one of the panels of the housing. A fire shelter system is removably positioned in the major chamber. A global positioning system is removably positioned within the envelope. A cord extending between the major chamber and the minor chamber couples the fire shelter system and the global positioning system. Deployment of the fire shelter system by removal from the major chamber will pull the cord to activate the global positioning system.
