Safety Blanket Showdown: Wet Towel vs Duvetyne vs Matrix Fire Blanket

There is perhaps no piece of fire spinning safety equipment more essential than the safety blanket! Whether it’s putting out fire props when people get tired or extinguishing a fire performer who has had an unfortunate accident, fire safety blankets form the backbone of good fire safety habits! But is there one option that’s better than the others? I went head-to-head testing out a wet towel, duvetyne, Matrix Fire Safety blanket, and a dry towel to get to the bottom of this question and the answers I found absolutely rocked more than ten years of assumptions that I’d made about safety blankets. This turned out to be a vastly more important test than I could have imagined.
